Holy Trinity Church, Stratford

Holy Trinity Church was built in 1890 on land donated by Mr T K Worthington, the first service being held on 30^th July. By 1891 the parish also included churches at Cardiff, Ngaere, Midhurst, Toko, Inglewood, Tariki and later Whangamomona.  In 1911 a church hall was built to accommodate the ’Parish day School’ later to become St Mary’s Diocesan School. In 1917 they moved to their present site.  In 1956 the Lady Chapel was added and in 1980 The Narthex, toilets and lounge with kitchen facilities was added.                                                                 

In 2009 A covenant for cooperation was signed between Holy Trinity Parish and St Stephen’s Methodist Parish and on the 1^st February both congregations began to worship together at Holy Trinity.
