OUR CHURCHES: KING COUNTRY TAILA BURTON-GOLLOP
This is a series featuring different churches around our diocese.
St George’s Parish was established in Te Kuiti in the early years of the twentieth century to be to be a place of worship for all Catholics in the district. In 1909, a parish was established in Te Awamutu which included Te Kuiti. In 1915 (until 1946), Te Kuiti became a separate parish which included Otorohanga and Piopio. The Mill Hill Fathers from Holland, Ireland and England were placed in Aria and surrounding areas until Diocesan clergy were available. Now the parish is included in the wider Te Awamutu parish once again.
