FROM THE SECULAR PRESS

Joy marks first celebration of Mass since lockdown
People were beaming with joy as they entered St Patrick's Basilica in South Dunedin yesterday to celebrate Mass, Fr Gerard Aynsley says. The Mercy Parish-Whanau Aroha priest said Mass was some way off normal — chairs were separated and people signed in and out and could not mingle — but parishioners appreciated being back.

Return to larger gatherings in Taranaki
It was a tentative but good return to mass at New Plymouth's St Joseph's Church on Sunday, as the limit on gatherings in New Zealand went up from 10 to 100. As of mid-afternoon, they had had three masses which were at 100 people and one with 35, with still the evening services to go, Father Simon Story said.

Churches reopen on Sunday as COVID-19 restrictions ease
It was back to church on Sunday for many Kiwis who have been eagerly waiting for COVID-19 restrictions to ease. But while 100 people can now gather to pray, not everyone is keen to open the chapel doors just yet.

Hallelujah: church services return after lockdown
Father Craig Dunford of St Lukes Catholic Church [Takapuna] says they resumed mass on Sunday and in order to accommodate the numbers, they added extra masses every hour—from 8am-12pm.

Episode 150 — COVID, Courage, Conscience, Confession (May 15, 2020)

In a bumper 150th episode of The 15th Station, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic dominates the show. This month, the focus is on the return to public worship in New Zealand (or lack thereof), as well as the courage of priests and medical staff in providing bodily and spiritual care to COVID sufferers. Anna, Don, James and Gavin also look at attempts to refuse to administer euthanasia if legislation is passed in New Zealand and consider Pope Benedict's latest biography. Maybe what we all need is a bit of confession by delivery. Enjoy the show — and stay safe out there.
