- Friends of Futuna Chapel Charitable Trust 50th Anniversary celebrations 18, 19 and 20 March 2011. Designed by architect John Scott for the Society of Mary in 1959, the Futuna Retreat Chapel in Karori was opened on 19 March 1961.

The building was awarded a Gold Medal by the New Zealand Institute of Architects and, later, was the recipient of the Institute’s inaugural 25 Year Award.
