All Saints Site Visit - Wednesday 25 Nov

On Wednesday 25 November, Christchurch City Council has granted us limited access to the original All Saints site on Wakefield Ave as a part of our 150th anniversary celebrations. While priority will be given to Parishioners and their loved ones with a direct link to the site (e.g.: a loved one’s remains interred in the Memorial Garden), anyone who registers will be able to visit the site dependent upon time and availability.

Visits will have time and group size limits due to the area continuing to be Red Zoned post 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Attendees will need to abide by all health and safety instructions from Council staff while on site.

This is an incredible opportunity for those with a connection with the original All Saints site to visit. We are very thankful to the Christchurch City Council for working hard to make this event a possibility.
