Hui Te Rangiora Marae A new Catholic Maori centre was opened on behalf of Kuini Te Atairangikaahu by Mr Hepi Te Heuheu at Hamilton on 19 November, 1966. Its name, Hui Te Rangiora Marae was suggested by the Queen in memory of a very sacred pre-pakeha marae in the Waikato area. The building was blessed by His Lordship Bishop R. Delargey after visitors were welcomed with speeches and waiata. A dinner was served in the hall and guests were entertained with action songs by local groups and by visitors from Auckland, Murupara and Opotiki. The picture above shows the stage, which is the sanctuary, with altar, tabernacle and tukutuku panels. The tabernacle, in the form of a sacred pataka, was carved by Mr Kima Hakaraia of Rotorua, and the tukutuku panels have both traditional and religious designs. The Maori Volcanics Showband. Members of the group are: From left. Mahora Waaka, Paul Minhinnick, Nuki Waaka, John Clarke, Mati Kemp, Tui Teka and Hector Epae
