Expression of Interest St Joseph's Parish Redevelopment - Design Competition
Tender ID: 229524
Tender Details
Tender Description
St Joseph's Parish is located in the north west of Christchurch city (New Zealand) with the original church on the site established in 1922. Today the parish has approximately 3,500 registered parishioners.
The September 4th 2010 and February 22nd 2011 seismic events have had a significant influence on life within Christchurch. The ramifications of these events will have long lasting impact on the people of the region and the places within which they interact. Catholics in particular have a very close association with their place of worship; not only as a building to gather and worship but a place that witnesses our beliefs to the wider community, a landmark for the faithful and non-faithful alike.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Christchurch has sustained significant damage to its buildings. The damage has been wide ranging and continues to affect the operation and mission of the Church.
St Joseph's Parish has suffered the loss of its historical worship space which is now demolished. The Parish is utilising the smaller St Gregory's Church in Bishopdale for all Mass and liturgical celebrations.
In March 2015 we published a document titled 'St Joseph's Phase I Making a case for change'. This reviewed the impact of the earthquakes on the Parish, the opportunities that this presented, options on how we could come to the provision of a new worship space and a possible process to deliver this.
