LENT 2018 

"Let us go together" - Ven. Suzanne Aubert

Each year the NZ Catholic Bishops' Lent Appeal is run by Caritas to support our work of charity and justice for the poorest and most vulnerable around the world, including in Aotearoa New Zealand.

In 2018 our Lenten theme is, 'Let us go together', which comes from Venerable Suzanne Aubert's 1885 book New and Complete Manual of Maori Conversation. We are personally called to go on a journey – with each other and with God. In the course of the journey we are changed and we change the world around us.

Resources and the Lenten Reflection Programmes are prepared each year for parishes, schools, small groups and the wider community and are available at http://www.caritas.org.nz/lent

Obituary: Taranaki faith community loses its 'shining light' (photo)
A "shining light" of the Taranaki faith community, and arguably one of the country's oldest altar servers, has died. At the age of 45, Sam Butler was a constant presence at the St Joseph parishes in New Plymouth and Waitara, where he donned the robes of the altar server for 16 years.

NZ bishops pass up Irish guidelines on children of priests
New Zealand's Catholic bishops have decided against adopting new international principles aimed at making priests who father children face up to their responsibilities, and will instead take their own approach.

Catholic priest defrocked after affair in the US now in charge of Auckland parish (photo)
What happens to a Catholic priest who breaks his celibacy vows? Father Lio Rotor found out the hard way. Rotor was defrocked but was reinstated with the support of the Bishop of Auckland, Patrick Dunn, and is now parish priest at St Mary's in Northcote on Auckland's North Shore.
