The App will provide for GPS coordinates, accommodation options, prayers, historical information and recorded talks by people of Te Tai Tokerau.

This development has been inspired by a pilgrimage led by Wiga Autet from the Auckland Diocese Religious Education Team.

The party of 8 visited the significant Catholic sites in Te Tai Tokerau to learn more about their faith and to pause ponder and prayer at them.

The sites visited included:

• Tane Mahuta: Maori gatekeeper to spirituality and Te Tai Tokerau
• Omapere Heads: Kupe's and Bishop Pompallier's entry to Hokianga
• Our Lady of the Highway - Our Lady of Passchendaele - Omanaia
• Totara Point: Site of the First Mass Bishop Pompallier
• St Gabriel's Church at Pawarenga
• Hata Maria - St Mary's Church, Motuti: where Bishop Pompallier's remains are kept.
• Our Lady of the Assumption Church, Motukaraka.
• The National Shrine of St Peter Chanel: Russell

Look out for news of the App on the Auckland Catholic Diocese's website.
