Hamilton bishop Richard Laurenson expressed his sadness over the passing of King Tuheitia.
On behalf of the Catholic bishops of Aotearoa, New Zealand, Laurenson extended his sympathies to the king's family and assured the family of the bishops' prayers for the repose of the King's soul.
Kingi Tuheitia became Maori King 18 years ago, and earlier this month, Laurenson was invited to attend the celebrations.
He described that occasion as one of "great joy and celebration."
"I was privileged to be asked to lead off the day of prayer for him and the Kingitanga," Laurenson stated, as the New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference reported.

E te Ariki, Ka inoi nei matou
tukua mai ki tau pononga ki a Kingi Tuheitia,
kia whiti atu ai ia ki te Kainga o te
maramatanga me te rangimarie.
Ma te Karaiti to matou Ariki. Amene

O Lord, we pray,
grant that your Servant King Tuheitia
may pass over to a dwelling place
of light and peace,
Through Christ our Lord. Amen
