Is your group seeking a peaceful venue in a beautiful setting to hire?
The Mary Potter Community Centre is a Ministry of the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary. The Centre is ideally placed close to the “four avenues” of Christchurch, located at 442 Durham Street North, St Albans. It is tucked behind the Southern Cross Hospital, hidden away from traffic noise and the busyness of life. Off-street parking is available on-site.
The Community Centre and Italian Garden is available for hiring on an hourly or daily basis for groups whose purposes are in keeping with the mission of Mary Potter, the Foundress of the Little Company of Mary. The Centre has a capacity for up to 90 people with a light-filled main hall, a welcoming foyer, kitchen facilities and access to the beautiful garden.

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.
The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.
According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
