TV 3. Family Secret: A sainted mother (television programme)
http://www.tv3.co.nz/FAMILY-SECRET-Season-1-Ep-10/tabid/3692/articleID/102066/MCat/3783/Default.aspx

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
interior of St Joseph's church as well the records of the children
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.

Almost one million families will be eligible for low- and no-interest
loans under a new government-backed scheme aimed at saving low-income

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"

Monsignor Bob Oliver is out to capture paedophile priests,
surrendering them to civil law, then exacting whatever punishment the
Catholic Church can mete out. It makes him a lightning rod for
anti-church sentiment, forces him to confront the church's dark past
and its worst miscreants, and means many meetings with victims, often
talking of their abuse for the first time.

When a fire destroyed the wooden St Mary of the Angels church in
Boulcott St in 1918, Wellingtonians opened their wallets to build the
magnificent French gothic church that stands today. Parish priest
Father Barry Scannell hopes that generosity will be repeated this
century to fund a $9.35 million earthquake strengthening bill.

Only 10 years ago members of the congregation at St Benedict's
Catholic church in inner-city Auckland raised about $2 million to
lovingly restore their Victorian red brick church. Now they face a
bill of up to $8 million to do the same again.

Immigration becomes 'pro-life' issue for Catholic leaders

As Congress ponders faster ways of deporting kids from Central America
trying to cross the US border to flee poverty and violence, the
Catholic Church is emerging as their first line of defense. This past
week brought not only a rare papal intervention in American politics,
but a historic first from the country's Jesuits. Whatever the
political results of those efforts, the big picture for the church is
that immigration is taking its place at the Catholic table as a fully
"pro-life" issue... [Also: Anti-ISIS backlash, a tour of Pope Francis'
Rome, and the debut of Crux]

'FOBs' driving the train under Pope Francis
http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/world/2014/07/19/fobs-driving-train-under-pope-francis/MsCA8ddIwynnsLaBeveg5M/story.html

During the Clinton administration, American politics developed a new
bit of argot: "FOB," meaning "friend of Bill," an intimate of the
president who enjoyed access to the corridors of power and perhaps
helped shape his agenda. Today Catholicism has its own emerging "FOB"
class, in this case standing for "friend of Bergoglio." The reference
is to those with personal ties to Jorge Mario Bergoglio, better known
to the world as Pope Francis ... Also: Christian fear in Gaza,
controversy in Korea, and Allen Down Under.

Catholic Church applauds Pope's stand
New Zealand's Catholic Church says it's heartened by Pope Francis's
willingness to tackle child abuse.
But a spokesperson says the Church can't comment on whether figures
released by the Pope reflect the New Zealand situation. The Church's
director of professional standards, Bill Kilgallon, said it was
impossible to apply such statistics to New Zealand.
