The Upper Room - September 2026

Join us back at The Upper Room this September!

This month we'll host another international speaker, Father Shenan J. Boquet from the United States who will speak on RECLAIMING THE CULTURE FOR LIFE.

Fr. Shenan J. Boquet is President of Human Life International, the world’s largest Catholic pro-life apostolate, serving families and communities in more than 100 countries. Ordained a priest for the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux, Louisiana, in 1993, he has dedicated his ministry to advancing the Gospel of Life and promoting the dignity of every human person.

Holding advanced degrees in theology and bioethics, Fr. Boquet is an internationally respected speaker, author, and educator. He has travelled to more than 90 countries, collaborating with bishops, clergy, and lay leaders to advance a culture of life and proclaim the Gospel with conviction and compassion.

The Upper Room is your space to grab a drink, connect with other Catholic young adults, and explore real-life topics that don’t usually make it into your Sunday homily.

And yes—your ticket includes bar snacks too. Keep an eye on our socials as we announce further details.

If you're a young adult in Auckland (or young at heart) join us for an unforgettable evening of fellowship and formation!

Free on-street parking is available nearby.
