Southland church celebrating 120 years

From Afternoons, 2:20 pm on 4 February 2022

The South Island town of Riverton is home to one of New Zealand's oldest churches.

St Mary's Anglican church will celebrate its 120th birthday this year and there's one person who knows the church, and the town, better than anyone.

Reverend Leah Boniface joins Jesse to share her knowledge of the historic building.
