The Holy Cross Samoan Community is fully committed to our parish and is affiliated to the Auckland Catholic Samoan Community. It consists of a group of families, who wish to uphold some of their cultural activities and pursue their spirituality as Samoans. Visit and family support are a strong commitment. A Parish Mass in Samoan and English is celebrated on the second Sunday of the month at 10.30 a.m., whereby all the activities of the Mass is carried out by the Samoan Community.

The Community have their own Choir, which sings during the parish ceremonies at Easter time and Christmas, a Youth group, and representation to the Parish Pastoral Council and Parish Hall Committee.  A Sunday School which follows the P.C.E. curriculum of our Parish but in the Samoan Language, is held every Sunday of the School Year in the Holy Cross classrooms. The Sunday School is run by voluntary help by members of the community. 

Some special celebrations during the year, Feast Day [Sulufaga] on 15th August, Feast of the Assumption of our Lady, a Summer Camp on Labour Weekend, if convenient, a break-up Christmas Fun evening get-together before Christmas, and a picnic in the New Year before school and work holidays finishes.  These celebrations are discussed every year as to their actualities and confirmation from year to year under different circumstances.
