  • Parish with a Mission by Geoff Pryor
    Parish with a Mission By Geoff Pryor Foreword - The Parish Today The train escaping Wellington darts first into one tunnel and then into another long, dark tunnel. Leaving behind the bustle of the city, it bursts into a verdant valley and slithers alongside a steep banked but quiet stream all the way to Porirua. It hurtles through the Tawa and Porirua parishes before pulling into Paremata to empty its passengers on the southern outskirts of the Plimmerton parish. The train crosses the bridge at Paremata with Pauatahanui in the background. There is no sign that the train has arrived anywhere particularly significant. There is no outstanding example of engineering feat or architecture, no harbour for ocean going ships or airport. No university campus holds its youth in place. No football stadium echoes to the roar of the crowd. The whaling days have gone and the totara is all felled. Perhaps once Plimmerton was envisaged as the port for the Wellington region, and at one time there was a proposal to build a coal fired generator on the point of the headland. Nothing came of these ideas. All that passed us by and what we are left with is largely what nature intended. Beaches, rocky outcrops, cliffs, rolling hills and wooded valleys, magnificent sunsets and misted coastline. Inland, just beyond Pauatahanui, the little church of St. Joseph, like a broody white hen nestles on its hill top. Just north of Plimmerton, St. Theresa's church hides behind its hedge from the urgency of the main road north. The present day parish stretches in an L shape starting at Pukerua Bay through to Pauatahanui.

  • Saints' Biographies Paint Rich Portrait of Faith
    Saints’ biographies paint rich portrait of faith ROME – The Rite of Canonization Oct. 11 included a brief biography of each of the new saints, read by Archbishop Angelo Amato, S.D.B., prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, and a sung litany of saints. Then Pope Benedict XVI pronounced a formal declaration of canonization. Relics of each saint were brought to the altar. The saints were presented to the pope in this order: • St. Sigmund Felix Felinski (1822-1895) was born in what was then Poland, but is now Ukraine. He studied for the priesthood in St. Petersburg, Russia, and eventually became Archbishop of Warsaw, Poland, in 1862 where he brought about a spiritual revival in his archdiocese by promoting religious and civil rights. After just 16 months, Tsarist authorities exiled him to Siberia. • St. Francis Coll Guitart (1812-1875) of Spain, founder of the Dominican Sisters of the Annunciation, was especially dedicated to missionary preaching, even in the last few years of his life while he suffered from progressive apoplexy and the resulting blindness. • Joseph de Veuster (1840-1889), who later became a priest of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and took the name Father Damien, will likely be known to the world as St. Damien of Molokai. Born in Belgium, he entered the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts like his brother and when his brother’s illness prevented him from going on a mission to the Hawaiian Islands, Damien obtained permission from the order’s superior to take his place.
