St Josephs Catholic Parish

Queenstown, Arrowtown, Garston and Glenorchy are served by one Priest, currently Father Jaime Lalaguna, who is stationed in Queenstown itself. Queenstown came into being through farming, Arrowtown through gold and Garston also through farming. Queenstown is situated on the shores of Lake Wakatipu – the Maori translation is The Breath of the Sleeping Giant. While we are small in actual numbers, our Churches are haven for countless visitors who come for various reasons.
