Waitara is a lucky community in that we have many special people who
care for us and in many cases dedicate their lives in service to us.

Waitara for 22 years.

Surprise! One of the Church's family issues is polygamy
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2014/09/11/surprise-one-of-the-churchs-family-issues-is-polygamy/

to flash on divorce, or the challenges of single-parent households, or
perhaps same-sex relationships and the push for gay marriage. What
probably wouldn't come naturally to mind is polygamy. Yet in many
parts of the non-Western world, polygamy is a major feature of family
life, and thus a major pastoral challenge for the Catholic Church...
