The Mission to Seafarers
Wellington, NZ
The Mission to Seafarers is an organisation dedicated to caring for seafarers and their welfare. We offer practical support, emergency assistance, and a friendly welcome to seafarers that find their ship in the port of Wellington, New Zealand.
MTS 125th Anniversary: 2024
This year, The Mission to Seafarers marks 125 years of continuous service to seafarers in New Zealand. During the week of 8-14 July we will be marking this momentous occasion with a series of events, including a very special Sea Sunday service at the Wellington Cathedral of St Paul on Sunday 14th July.
We would love to have you join us to celebrate this occasion. More information can be found here at the 125 Anniversary Page.
We are also taking donations toward the 125th Memorial Project; if you’d like to contribute financially please click the button below.
