Membership and Donations

The Friends of Mount Street Cemetery was established in 2010 to preserve, protect and enhance the heritage of the Mount Street Cemetery for the benefit of all.  The Mount Street Cemetery was the first Cemetery in Wellington for Catholic burials, and contains the graves of about 1150  Wellington pioneers. 

You can become a member of the Friends by payment of an annual subscription.   Any additional donations are very welcome.  As we are a registered charity under the Archdiocese of Wellington, all donations of $5 and over are tax-deductible.  All funds received will be put towards the ongoing work of protecting, conserving and maintaining the Cemetery for the benefit of all.

By becoming a member:

•   Your subscription/donation will help to preserve this important part of Wellington’s heritage.

•   You can assist in the voluntary work, including research and working bees.

Your financial support would be greatly appreciated for this important heritage project.
