Our Sacred Mission

Heilala 'o Filipai Trust Board was established to establish, foster, and nurture peaceful fellowships among parish youths and share spiritual ideas and develop Christian faith, strengths, and talents through their brotherhood in Christ.

We encourage and establish a permanent forum in which Tongan traditions and cultures are discussed and practiced. We assist youths in the resolution of their individual problems and encourage meaningful interactions among the youth of the parish and those from their denominations here in Aotearoa and Tonga.
