Catholic Church starts survey 'to be prepared' for abuse inquiry
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/403142/catholic-church-starts-survey-to-be-prepared-for-abuse-inquiry
The Catholic Church is beginning its first-ever survey in New Zealand to get to grips with just how many priests abused how many children. The Royal Commission of Inquiry's Catholic liaison group Te Ropu Tautoko chair Catherine Fyfe said the church "wanted to be prepared to respond quickly to requests when and if the Royal Commission requested information from us". Ms Fyfe said a parallel survey of Catholic institutions that existed in the 1950-1999 period should be completed by the end of the year.

A small church in a town with a population of 10 people was packed to the rafters as it celebrated its 100th year and also held its last ever service. The wood and corrugated iron Sacred Heart Whangamomona Church, which sits at the heart of the country's only self-proclaimed republic, reached its centenary on Saturday while holding its final mass.

Puhoi was founded by Bohemian settlers from what is now part of the Czech Republic. They arrived in 1863, and wrested a living from the inhospitable bush, selling firewood and later carving out farms and homesteads. Even among the harsh life in the unfamiliar wilderness, those determined pioneers adhered to their strong Catholic faith...

It's all for a good cause was the mantra of well-known South Cantabrians as people queued for a shot at getting them soaked. Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon and newly-elected Timaru District mayor Nigel Bowen were among those who mustered up the courage to sit in the dunking machine at Sacred Heart Primary's school fair on Sunday, to help raise money for playground upgrades.

STATION XV
http://station15.co.nz/
Episode 144 — Canberra, Rome, Amazon, Wellington, Whangamomona (November 15, 2019)
The Station 15 crew was in the courtroom for one of the biggest announcements in the Church's legal history, as the High Court of Australia agreed that it would hear arguments why Cardinal George Pell's child sexual abuse convictions should be overturned. It wasn't quite that exciting for the New Zealand bishops, but they recently made their Ad Limina visit to Rome, meeting with Pope Francis and his key advisers. The bishops were there as the much-reported Synod on the Amazon unfolded, but it was hard to find the facts among the hysteria. Back in New Zealand, there's a push from a Maori organisation to get Pope Francis to apologise for the Church's role in colonising the country back in the 19th century. Things have been a bit quieter in Whangamomona, where a 100-year-old Catholic church has seen its last hurrah — as a place of Catholic worship, at least. A typically diverse episode awaits.
