Mass Catholic mass in Palmerston North (full text)
http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/news/8999580/Mass-Catholic-mass-in-Palmerston-North
More than 2000 Catholics from Manawatu and Tararua area are expected
to congregate for a "Year of Faith" mass at Arena Manawatu in
Palmerston North tomorrow. Former Pope Benedict asked Catholics around
the world to mark 2013 as a year to celebrate and re-energise their
faith. Bishop Charles Drennan, who leads the Catholic Community in
Taranaki, Whanganui, Manawatu and Hawkes Bay, has invited people from
nine churches to assemble for hymns from 10am, with the Mass beginning
at 10.30am.

St Gerard's Monastery, standing proud above Oriental Parade, is
unquestionably one of Wellington's landmark buildings. It is also a
liability that could fall over in a significant earthquake, and will
cost millions of dollars to be brought up to an acceptably safe
standard.

In most respects, Alitalia flight 4001 from Rio de Janeiro to Rome on
Sunday night was nothing to write home about. The seats in economy
class were fairly uncomfortable, and the main course was a lukewarm
square of lasagna roughly the size of a Ritz cracker.
I'll say this for it, however: The in-flight entertainment was spectacular...
