We remember with deep gratitude the life and ministry of Monsignor Kevin Bernard Hackett KHS, who returned to the Lord on 11 August 2025. A faithful priest of the Diocese of Auckland and a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre, he gave his life in humble service to God and His people.

His passing was marked with Rosary, Vigil Mass, and a Requiem Mass celebrated by his brother priests and the faithful who loved him, before he was laid to rest at Panmure Cemetery.

We give thanks for his years of devoted witness, his priestly heart, and his example of faith. May the Lord now welcome him into the eternal banquet of heaven.

Requiescat in pace.
