The Catholic community are not happy with new laws giving councils the

in Taranaki by government troops and militia in 1881. Caritas, the
Catholic Church's agency for justice, peace and development has also
been exploring the idea of Parihaka Day with the settlement.

Father Ray Sanchez is a man on a mission. And he is heading to

History is on the move with an 80-year-old Northland church inching
its way to a new home on Waiheke Island. The long-disused Catholic
church, across the road from the Towai Tavern on State Highway 1 south
of Kawakawa, was cut into three pieces on Monday and loaded onto a
truck for the long journey to Kawakawa Bay, southeast of Auckland.
