David Lomas researches the family background of a client whose
adoptive father, Herbert Davis, was taken into the care of Mother
Suzanne Aubert and her Sisters of Compassion at Jerusalem (Hiruharama)
on the Whanganui River. Viewers see the Jerusalem marae and the

written in Mother Aubert's own hand. See also 'Creche's next move not

The historic creche on Buckle St has reached its final resting place,
but what it will be used for remains a mystery. Built in 1914, the
creche continued the work that Mother Aubert began in 1903. Aubert
founded the Sisters of Compassion and is being considered by the
Vatican to become New Zealand's first Catholic saint.

Bohemians Michael and Barbara Krippner were some of the many militia
families who settled in the Ohaupo area at the end of the Waikato War.
Michael Krippner is attributed with having the first cow in the
district. His house was a refuge during unsettled times, and was the
venue for Mass before the Catholic church was built.

Episode 83 – Happy 7 years of podcasting! (August 15, 2014)

August 15 is the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady, which makes this
episode our birthday episode! We have been running this podcast for 7
years, and in this episode, we spend some time talking through the
stories of the day – the Pope in South Korea, the NZ Catholic Bishops'
voting advice, the terrible persecution of Christians around the
world, the paganisation of rural NZ – and then reflect a bit back on 7
years of podcasting. Thanks for listening!

Pope Francis continued his five-day trip to South Korea Saturday,
proving that his reputation as a magnet for humanity extends to Asia
too. His Saturday morning Mass drew a crowd estimated by the Vatican
to be 800,000 to a downtown Seoul square, where the pontiff beatified
124 Korean martyrs from the 18th and 19th centuries. Francis used the
occasion to deliver a trademark plea for social justice, saying that
the memory of past martyrs should call believers to acts of charity.
The pope said that "alongside immense wealth, dire poverty is silently
growing" and lamented that "the cry of the poor is seldom heard"
