Upon entering Whānau Maria, your gaze will be immediately drawn to a striking mural that features three pou with Māmā and pepī at its centre. Gifted by acclaimed New Zealand artist Haser, it embodies the heart and soul of Whānau Maria, symbolising service, community, and protection, echoing the very essence of the Logos Project.
The Logos Centre
The Logos Project is based in the ground floor of Whānau Maria. All our spaces are accessible, inviting and safe for young people.
Whānau Maria radiates a cathedral-like aura, symbolising Mary's guiding influence. It serves as a modern sacred space where youth and families can nurture their faith. Representing a new era of dedication to Catholic young people and families, Whānau Maria offers an experience of Mary's home, leaving visitors refreshed, renewed, and encouraged.
The Logos Project embraces the Marist vision, spirit, and mission, providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for young people and families to flourish. Join us on this remarkable journey of faith, community, and inspiration.
At Logos, our enduring vision is to create a central hub where Catholic young people can grow and develop, becoming strong in their faith and identity. We are delighted to share our hopes and vision for our new inner-city centre. We are committed to supporting young people as present and future leaders within and beyond faith communities. While Logos is a youth development organisation, we recognise that young people belong to and seek acceptance from diverse, intergenerational communities. We stay relevant by genuinely listening to young people and keeping a close eye on the changing landscape. Belonging is at the heart of our kaupapa here at Logos. We believe that manaakitanga is central to fostering belonging, and this is reflected in the design of our spaces.
Your support helps us connect with over 10,000 young people each year, creating a strong, intergenerational community. Together, we’re making a real difference, and we couldn’t do it without you!
