Our Lady of the Assumption (also known as The Church of the Assumption) is a heritage-listed Catholic church located in Auckland, New Zealand. It is located in the suburb of Onehunga on the corner of Church Street and Galway Street. Built between 1887–9 the church is situated within a 1840s denominational cemetery which houses the gravesites of many of Onehunga's fencible colonial settlers.[1]
The notable landmark of the Onehunga suburb has historical links to key members in the Catholic Diocese of Auckland such as Bishop John Edmund Luck (1848–1896), Priest of the Order of Saint Benedict and Bishop of Auckland, New Zealand who lies in the church vault.[2][3]
