MISSION HUB
New Zealand
Helping disciples build a culture of
prayer, leadership and mission.
A fire has been ignited in our nation — a fire of hope, faith, and renewal.
Mission Hub New Zealand is a space to lift our nation in prayer, and to connect and equip like-minded missionary disciples for mission across Aotearoa New Zealand. This mission is rooted in prayer, sustained by community, and strengthened through ongoing formation and connection. We stand alongside parishes, the clergy, and Catholic institutions — supporting, encouraging, and resourcing them — to proclaim the Good News of Christ.
You are invited to continue the journey of renewal.
- Renewal of your own heart
- Renewal of our parishes
- Renewal of our communities
- Renewal of our nation
Zoom Meeting
Monday, 17 August 2026 7:00-8:30pm NZT
Is Alpha just a course—or a catalyst for change?
Join us for this month’s Mission Hub, a collaboration between Mission Hub and the Catholic Enquiry Centre, as we explore how Alpha can transcend the “course” model and become a practical, powerful engine for parish transformation with Clare Bell, the new Alpha Catholic Engagement Manager.
Clare will share her vision for how Alpha can transcend the “course” model and become a practical, powerful engine for parish transformation. Whether you’re new to Alpha or a seasoned pro, join us to gain fresh insights and concrete ideas to spark a missionary fire in your own community.
Jacinta Nicholls explored how hospitality, relationships, community, prayer, and purpose are the foundation for helping parishes move from Welcome to Discipleship. She shared practical, inspiring insights from St Peter Chanel Parish, Waimakariri.
It was such a great session we want to continue the conversation! Use the FEEDBACK BUTTON to continue the conversation—share your questions, what’s working in your parish, and what the Lord might be calling you to.
