Deepest Sympathy

Moe mai e Matua Wara

The Late Wara Heremaia

It was only fitting that we gathered together at Te Wairua Tapu to farewell our friend Matua Wara. Always remembered as a faithful servant, friend, respected kaumatua, beautiful exponent of Te Reo Maori. Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us here in Sydney.

Stories were shared and laughter heard. Wara is survived by his wife Margaret, daughter Lisa and son Warren and many mokopuna.

‘The Spirit Poured Out’
Holy Spirit of God, as of fire, forging, purging, all-consuming: touch us with love,
purge us from the dross of sin and self, so that we may tell your glory in the furnace of the world. With the Father and the Son, you live and reign, one God, now and forever. Amen
