  • BISHOP BARRY JONES Barry Philip Jones Has Been the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch for Over Nine Years. He Will Be Rememb
    BISHOP BARRY JONES Barry Philip Jones has been the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch for over nine years. He will be remembered by us as a man of integrity, who filled the episcopal office with honour, who in demanding times gave sound leadership to the Catholic community, who was a respected representative of the Catholic Church in Canterbury and Westland and who has left a worthy heritage of faith, of priestly zeal and of Christian life. Back in the 3rd century AD, Hippolytus who was a theologian and a bishop wrote about what it means to be a bishop: He said “We are the successors of the apostles to whom it has been given to participate in their self same grace of priesthood and teaching and to be the guardians of the Church.” With Christ, the Lord, the apostles had been the founders of the Church. Aidan Nichols, an English Dominican theologian much appreciated by Bishop Jones once wrote: “The successors of the apostles, the Pope and the bishops do not ‘replace’ the apostles; they ‘ stand in’ for them. They ensure the presence of the apostles in the same ministry received from Christ.” A bishop has a threefold office which is essential for the Catholic Church. He is ordained for the office of sanctifying the faithful through the Mass and the sacraments, he is ordained for the office of teaching, handing on the faith revealed by Christ, he is ordained for the office of governing that part of the Church entrusted to him and with all the bishops under the Pope, he shares responsibility for the whole Church.

  • Farewell Bishop John Cunneen DD
    “It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you . yes, it is Christmas every time you smile at your brother and offer him your hand.” - Mother Teresa of Calcutta The Newsletter of the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch CHRISTMAS ISSUE 83 : DECEMBER 2010 Farewell Bishop John Cunneen DD Bishop Barry Jones remembers the Most Reverend John Jerome Cunneen RIP Bishop John was visiting his family in July when he was admitted to the Ashburton Hospital. He was diagnosed with cancer. Consequently he did not return to his apartment at St. John Fisher House, Christchurch, but to the Larmenier Wing of Nazareth House. Sisters of Nazareth and staff cared for him with great love and skill until his death on 9 November. Until his last two days Bishop John was very pleased to interact with the many visitors who came to see him, remembering their names and picking up on their last contacts in his extraordinarily gifted way. Holy Mass was celebrated in his room daily, usually by Bishop Basil Meeking – a great comfort to him. He would rouse himself with great determination to answer all the prayers from beginning to end. When he died, Bishop John lay in state and was present for the celebration of holy Mass at Nazareth House, the Carmelite Monastery and the Tafesilafai Catholic Samoan Centre, for I knew him similarly. His compassion Chapel of a dim and broken Cathedral. the Community’s traditional prayers and gentleness enabled him to reach The burial prayers were said carefully for one of its own members.

  • The Parish Priest and New Zealand Catholic Schools
    The parish priest and New Zealand Catholic schools A document from the New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference for the guidance of priests, Boards of Trustees, principals, and DRSs in Catholic schools. Following the huge contribution to Catholic life and formation made by priests, religious sisters and brothers down the years, Catholic education has been greatly blessed in recent years by the gifts, skills and dedicated service given by so many lay women and men. We assure them that in carrying out their work, they are the Church and their work is the Church’s work, as well as the context of their own sanctification. We want them to experience not only the satisfaction that comes from doing a job well, but also the joy of knowing that through them Christ is giving life to the world. As Pope John Paul II said in his letter to the Church in Oceania: For the lay people involved, teaching is more than a profession: it is a vocation to form students, a widespread and indispensable lay service in the Church … and a way of Christian sanctification for both teacher and students. (n.33) Specific roles within the schools are governed by legislation and regulation. Within the Catholic School system, some of these roles are governed by Part 33 of the Education Act 1989 and by Integration Agreements. All this legislative backing has given a high profile to the roles of Boards of Trustees, Principals, DRSs … Meanwhile, the profile of the priest in the Catholic School system has not been featured in the same ways.
