The Community of the Beatitudes is an Ecclesial Family of Consecrated Life who serve the mission of the Catholic Church with a joy rooted our sure hope of the coming of Jesus, living in fraternal unity, and praying with and for the Jewish people for the fulfilment of God's plan for every one of us! ​

​

Here, in New Zealand, the Community's apostolate is based at our Marian Shrine, the Sanctuary of Fourvière, located in Leithfield, just over 30 minutes North of Christchurch.

​

You can come to the Sanctuary to pray, stay for retreats, visit for times of recollection, attend times of formation and participate in many feast day celebrations. You can also browse our shop for Catholic gifts or stop for a coffee or a chat.​We welcome school groups, parish groups, families and all people wanting to encounter Jesus and Mary in the peaceful surrounds of the Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Light!
