Sass was the first Danish Lutheran pastor in New Zealand. Originally in charge of the Scandinavian churches in Queensland, he came over to New Zealand to minister to the 7000 or so Lutherans in the Taranaki, Manawatu, Wairarapa and Hawke’s Bay in 1878. He frequently visited the Danish Lutheran congregation at Mauriceville, where a church was opened in August 1884.
