Op Shop Closes
Following the decision of the Parish to sell the St Philips site, the Op Shop team has decided to close down the Op Shop this month, and to look to make a contribution to other ministries in the Parish. The stock will be offered firstly to the Karori Community Op Shop. Thank you to the team for their many years of faithful ministry through the Op Shop, and wish them well with their new ministries.
