Rain from the heavens delayed the move of Our Lady of Fatima Church
for four days last week. The parish hall in Innes Rd (Christchurch)
was loaded up on trucks in preparation for being moved on Monday, but
as pouring rain turned the new site to mud the move had to be delayed
until the land could dry out.

years hard work."

A chance to show solidarity with those living in poverty saw 46
students from Marian College and Catholic Cathedral College sleep
"rough" last weekend. As part of the first nationwide challenge,
initiated by Caritas, a Catholic charity, students were sponsored to
spend 24 hours sleeping outside in cardboard boxes, eating at a soup
kitchen and undertaking activities to help them understand the
everyday issues faced by those in the Solomon Islands.

A chance to show solidarity with those living in poverty saw 46
students from Marian College and Catholic Cathedral College sleep
"rough" last weekend. As part of the first nationwide challenge,
initiated by Caritas, a Catholic charity, students were sponsored to
spend 24 hours sleeping outside in cardboard boxes, eating at a soup
kitchen and undertaking activities to help them understand the
everyday issues faced by those in the Solomon Islands.

A 40-day anti-abortion prayer vigil protest outside Wellington
Hospital has resulted in staff steering vulnerable female patients to
alternative hospital entries. Catholic organisation Family Life
International's vigil, part of a 40 Days for Life campaign, is due to
continue from 8am until 8pm each day until April 13, in the lead-up to
Easter in honour of Lent.

A century-old convent's transformation into a gracious family home got
a tick from perhaps the hardest people to please - the nuns who used
to live there. The former Brigidine Sisters convent, built in Pahiatua
in 1912, was bought and trucked to Greytown in December by retired
academic John Bushnell to be turned into a four-bedroom home for him
and his wife.

The Hamilton East Community Trust has been awarded $38,000 from the
Ministry for the Environment's Environmental Legal Assistance Fund to
assist with its fight to save the historic Euphrasie House in Clyde St

as a boarding hostel for girls attending the Catholic Sacred Heart

suffering. "It's probable, living in some of those big wealthy homes,
is a lot of need," she told her driver, Allan Devlin.

Francis shows political instincts in naming anti-abuse panel, Obama
meets Francis, Cardinal v. Cardinal, and the global war on Christians
http://goo.gl/4N5p71
Pope Francis captured the imagination of the world within hours after
his election a year ago through his flashes of humility, and that's
not just a PR facade. In Argentina, he was known as a "bishop of the
villas," referring to the vast slums that ring Buenos Aires, because
he had a special love for the poor. Yet one should never forget that
beneath that simple exterior lies the mind of a brilliant Jesuit
politician. That savvy was on display again Saturday, when Francis
rolled out the initial members for a new Vatican commission to lead
the charge in the fight against clerical sexual abuse...
