FROM THE SECULAR PRESS.  

Gothic fairy-tale castle for sale in Epsom was once an orphanage
"The rarest and fairest in the land," says the listing for the Gothic fairy-tale castle, Clifton, built for concrete baron Josiah Clifton Firth on the slopes of Mt Eden in 1873. It is also significant for its subsequent associations with Mother Mary Joseph Aubert (1835-1926), the first person in New Zealand to be recommended for canonisation by the Catholic Church.

There has been "steady" interest in the sale of Teschemakers Resort, with its collection of old school buildings, a cottage and a chapel, real estate agent Robin Hyndman says.

Accused priest still on parish duty
A Catholic priest remained serving in his parish despite an active allegation of sexual abuse being lodged against him. And the Catholic archbishop of Wellington, who oversees the North Island parish in which the priest serves, was not informed of the complaint.
