Welcome to our Community

We are the faithful members of the Saint Michael Catholic Church in Abatiku Islet, part of the vibrant Abemama Parish in Kiribati. Our mission is to grow together in Christ, serve our people with love, and build a stronger Catholic community for generations to come.

As a close-knit island community, our Catholic faith is the heart of our daily lives. We gather for Mass, prayer, and fellowship to support one another spiritually and socially. Guided by our Catechist and lay members, we strive to live out the teachings of Christ in all that we do.

Support Our Catholic Community Fundraising

NEW CHAPEL

Our old chapel is no longer able to serve our growing congregation. We are raising funds to build a new concrete chapel—a safe, beautiful, and lasting house of worship for our community.

You can help us lay the foundation of faith for future generations.

MARIAN GROTTO

A Sacred Space for Prayer, Peace, and Presence

We are planning to build a Marian Grotto, a peaceful space for prayer and reflection, surrounded by flowers and nature—a sanctuary of grace for all.

Every contribution – big or small – brings us closer to creating this holy space for our community.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ

On behalf of the Saint Michael Abatiku Catholic Community, I extend my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who have shared your blessings with us.

Your generous donations are not just gifts of money—they are acts of faith, love, and solidarity. Through your kindness, we are building more than a chapel; we are building a stronger community rooted in Christ.

You have helped carry our prayers across the ocean, and your giving spirit has reached the hearts of our people here in Abatiku. Whether large or small, every contribution brings us closer to a sacred space where our families can gather in worship, and where our children can grow in faith.

As your Catechist and servant in Christ, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. May our Lord reward you a hundredfold and continue to bless you and your families abundantly.

We will always remember you in our prayers and in every Holy Mass we celebrate.

With faith and gratitude,
