Ministry announcement of flagship communities of schools
http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/ninetonoon/audio/20160824/ministry-announcement-of-flagship-communities-of-schools
The Ministry of Education has named the 90 schools that will make up
the first 11 collaborative hubs. From next term, these communities of
primary and secondary schools will work together, with senior
principals and teachers taking leadership and mentoring roles across
schools, and being paid more for those roles. Two schools opting into
the policy next year are John Paul College in Rotorua and St Mary's
primary school in Tauranga. Their principals are Patrick Walsh from
John Paul College - a former President of the Principals' Association;
and Ben Fuller from St Mary's Primary.

(20 November 2014)
"While our concern is not only for Catholics, Catholic Syrians and
Iraqis in New Zealand speak to us regularly about their deep concern

or who have become refugees. These insights about the effects the
actions of ISIS are having on ordinary people are deeply moving" says

In 21st century Catholicism, you can't ignore Africa anymore
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2014/11/20/in-21st-century-catholicism-you-cant-ignore-africa-any-more/
It's commonplace to say that the Catholic Church, and the Vatican in
particular, needs to hear the voices of the developing world.
Two-thirds of the planet's 1.2 billion Catholics now live outside the
West, a share that will reach three-quarters by mid-century, and it
seems only fair that those folks claim a seat at the table. Today
we're hearing their voices loud and clear, above all from the 150
million Catholics — and climbing — in Africa, and sometimes it makes
for a bumpy ride...

Bishops reflect on New Zealand's involvement in Middle East conflict
(20 November 2014)
"While our concern is not only for Catholics, Catholic Syrians and
Iraqis in New Zealand speak to us regularly about their deep concern
for the desperate situation faced by family members in Syria and Iraq
or who have become refugees. These insights about the effects the
actions of ISIS are having on ordinary people are deeply moving" says
Archbishop John Dew, President of the New Zealand Catholic Bishops
Conference...

In 21st century Catholicism, you can't ignore Africa anymore
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2014/11/20/in-21st-century-catholicism-you-cant-ignore-africa-any-more/
It's commonplace to say that the Catholic Church, and the Vatican in
particular, needs to hear the voices of the developing world.
Two-thirds of the planet's 1.2 billion Catholics now live outside the
West, a share that will reach three-quarters by mid-century, and it
seems only fair that those folks claim a seat at the table. Today
we're hearing their voices loud and clear, above all from the 150
million Catholics — and climbing — in Africa, and sometimes it makes
for a bumpy ride...

freedom is under threat today. Thankfully, we don't have to remain at
an anecdotal level. "Aid to the Church in Need," a global Catholic
charity based in Germany, puts out an annual report on the state of

What the Pope could do to defend religious freedom

normalization of retired popes

Just by reading the news, one has the impression that religious
freedom is under threat today. Thankfully, we don't have to remain at
an anecdotal level. "Aid to the Church in Need," a global Catholic
charity based in Germany, puts out an annual report on the state of
religious freedom around the world, and its new 2014 edition contains
sobering results ...

Catholic divorce debate heats up
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/10664782/Catholic-divorce-debate-heats-up
New Zealand's senior Catholic believes the church is ready to change
its hardline stance on divorcees - something he began lobbying for
almost a decade ago. Archbishop John Dew is among bishops worldwide
pushing for a liberal reform of church rules which ban Catholics who
divorce, then remarry, from taking Communion - effectively excluding
them from church life.
Opinion: Young religious people tarred with outdated social stigma, by
Verity Johnson
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11351553
I've got a soft spot for the Pope. I don't know why; I'm about as
religious as a satsuma. But given that Mum's an Anglican preacher, my
Dad's an atheist, my brother a Catholic, and my Aunt and Uncle devout
Jews, I've probably picked up second-hand religious interest
somewhere...

It's 70 years since John Roy-Wojciechowski started his new life in New
Zealand. The Howick resident was one of 733 Polish refugee children
who settled in Pahiatua in 1944 after his family was forced to flee a
Russian invasion.

The first Roman Catholic Mass celebrated in Southland was said by a
French Marist missionary priest who had walked down from Dunedin.
There were no roads or maps, just plenty of bush and swamp. Mass was
offered in a one-room post office. By contrast, yesterday's
sesquicentennial Mass drew 650 people to the Ascot Park hotel, to the
vast space in which they'd enjoyed a banquet the night before.

Will the pope challenge Turkey on anti-Christian bias?
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2014/10/30/will-pope-francis-challenge-turkey-on-anti-christian-bias/
Recently the Vatican confirmed that Pope Francis will travel to Turkey
Nov. 28-30, the official purpose for which is largely ecumenical.
He'll visit Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople on the feast of
St. Andrew, considered their patron in much the same way Catholics
regard St. Peter as the first pope. But what's not yet clear is how
much of a push Francis will make on another front: An increasingly
virulent anti-Christian climate in Turkey, which tends to simmer
constantly until it boils over into lethal violence.

Catholic divorce debate heats up
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/10664782/Catholic-divorce-debate-heats-up
New Zealand's senior Catholic believes the church is ready to change
its hardline stance on divorcees - something he began lobbying for
almost a decade ago. Archbishop John Dew is among bishops worldwide
pushing for a liberal reform of church rules which ban Catholics who
divorce, then remarry, from taking Communion - effectively excluding
them from church life.
Opinion: Young religious people tarred with outdated social stigma, by
Verity Johnson
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11351553
I've got a soft spot for the Pope. I don't know why; I'm about as
religious as a satsuma. But given that Mum's an Anglican preacher, my
Dad's an atheist, my brother a Catholic, and my Aunt and Uncle devout
Jews, I've probably picked up second-hand religious interest
somewhere...
Reunion for Polish migrants (photos)

It's 70 years since John Roy-Wojciechowski started his new life in New
Zealand. The Howick resident was one of 733 Polish refugee children
who settled in Pahiatua in 1944 after his family was forced to flee a
Russian invasion.

St Mary's parish celebrates 150 years
http://www.stuff.co.nz/southland-times/news/10665328/St-Marys-parish-celebrates-150-years
The first Roman Catholic Mass celebrated in Southland was said by a
French Marist missionary priest who had walked down from Dunedin.
There were no roads or maps, just plenty of bush and swamp. Mass was
offered in a one-room post office. By contrast, yesterday's
sesquicentennial Mass drew 650 people to the Ascot Park hotel, to the
vast space in which they'd enjoyed a banquet the night before.

Maitland, died on Saturday about 1.50pm on State Highway 1 at

For the second time in little over a week, Forsyth Barr Stadium in

Will the pope challenge Turkey on anti-Christian bias?
http://www.cruxnow.com/church/2014/10/30/will-pope-francis-challenge-turkey-on-anti-christian-bias/
Recently the Vatican confirmed that Pope Francis will travel to Turkey
Nov. 28-30, the official purpose for which is largely ecumenical.
He'll visit Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople on the feast of
St. Andrew, considered their patron in much the same way Catholics
regard St. Peter as the first pope. But what's not yet clear is how
much of a push Francis will make on another front: An increasingly
virulent anti-Christian climate in Turkey, which tends to simmer
constantly until it boils over into lethal violence.
