About 1000 people are expected to crowd St Patrick's Cathedral during
a four-day farewell for a man thought of as the "wise shepherd" of
Auckland. Emeritus Catholic Bishop of Auckland John Mackey, the ninth
Bishop of Auckland from 1974 to 1983, died at the Little Sisters rest
home in Ponsonby on January 20 aged 96.

Catholic priest Saint John Bosco may have died in 1888 but his legacy
lives on and is making its mark in Taupo. Ignis Terra, which recently
opened in Heuheu St, specialises in fine wood furniture made in Peru
by trained artisans at the Don Bosco Association.

$359m investment in schools
http://www.sunlive.co.nz/news/62897-359m-investment-schools.html
An extra $359 million will be invested into New Zealand education over
the next four years to lift the achievement of students. Prime
Minister John Key made the announcement in his first speech of the
year when he also introduced new key roles in a hope of "keeping good
teachers in the classroom". But not everyone is sold on the idea.

More schools get fast broadband

More Manawatu schools have joined the roll call for free, fast
internet and just in time for school to start next week. Palmerston
North's St Peter's College was one of the first to be named as part of
the package last year, with deputy principal Jon Bowen welcoming the
inclusion, saying free fibre and faster internet offered more
educational opportunities.

Truisms in Catholic life and a rundown of Rome news
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/truisms-catholic-life-and-rundown-rome-news

Trying to impose order on chaos, I'd like to suggest that recent
developments on the Vatican beat are noteworthy not just on their own
merits, but because they illustrate a couple of truisms about Catholic
life that anyone who wants to "get it" vis-à-vis the church probably
should master ...
