About us

Catholic Communications, Te Pourewa is the media office of the New Zealand Catholic Bishops' Conference.

Our prime responsibility is to relate the Church to the community through the media.

The Catholic Church has many great stories to tell. Our messages in bio-ethics, international relations, spirituality, social policy, justice and development are strong and well defined. Sometimes we need to tell our story with remorse.

Catholic Communications is the point of contact between the media and the Church.
