  • Pray for the Vocation to the Priesthood
    First Reading Second Reading Leviticus 13:1-2, 44-46 Corinthians 10:31-11:1 Responsorial Psalm Gospel Ps 31:1-2, 5, 11 Mark 1:40-45 Pray for the Vocation to the Priesthood n 6th June 2020, I travelled to Palmerston North for the ordination to the priesthood of Fr. Trung Nguyen, another new Vietnamese priest for the Palmerston North Diocese. On this occasion, I O was filled with joy, and I wished that there would be more ordinations to the priesthood of men who are from New Zealand too. While having a coffee with some friends, I was talking to them about promoting the vocation to the priesthood in Christchurch, and one of my friends asked me to keep inviting young men to discern the vocation to the priesthood. He said, ‘you know if no man has asked to marry his wife, half of the world’s population may not have been married at all.’ This really highlights the importance of our invitation to our young men and women in discerning their religious vocations as well. My hope is that everyone of us in our common priesthood of Christ can become a promoter of vocations in our families. By doing this, each of us becomes the voice of Jesus in inviting young men and women to consecrate their life to God in serving him and his Church. At times, as parents you may not know where and how to start inviting your children to think about a religious vocation; how about imitating Mary, our Mother in her presentation of the Lord in the Temple by bringing your children to his local church temple for Mass more regularly? During Lent 2021, St.

  • POLICING KIWI STYLE by Hugh Colley Rangiora Is Situated in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand's South Island. It Is 29 Kilomet
    POLICING KIWI STYLE by Hugh Colley Rangiora is situated in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand's South Island. It is 29 kilometres (18 miles) north of Christchurch and is a satellite town of the second largest city in New Zealand. The area’s economy is largely based on agriculture, forestry, wine production and tourism. During a recent stay in New Zealand I called into Rangiora Police Station where I met Sergeant Colin Stewart of the New Zealand Police (NZP) who answered questions about policing this beautiful part of the world. Hugh meeting Sergeant Colin Stewart Rangiora Police Station Rangiora seems a peaceful, law abiding town – how do you police the area? Rangiora and Kaiapoi are the local two major towns and I’m the Sergeant based at Rangiora performing General Policing Duties, another Sergeant is based at nearby Kaiapoi. We share a total of 20 staff i.e. five sections of four Constables per section. Our responsibility is the area around the two towns which has a combined population of about 40,000, this is growing rapidly as people are moving out of Christchurch following the earthquake. Further afield there are six out stations and a Sergeant working out of Rangiora manages staff based at these stations. It is not unusual for staff based at Rangiora to travel to these areas as and when required which can, due to the distance involved, take up to two hours. I’m also responsible for co-ordinating searches for lost persons such as hikers by using volunteer groups and a specialist team of officers based at Christchurch.

  • Waimakariri District Flood Hazard Management Strategy
    Waimakariri District Flood Hazard Management Strategy Ashley River Floodplain Investigation Report No. R08/23 ISBN 978-1-86937-804-2 Tony Oliver June 2008 Report R08/23 ISBN 978-1-86937-804-2 58 Kilmore Street PO Box 345 Christchurch Phone (03) 365 3828 Fax (03) 365 3194 75 Church Street PO Box 550 Timaru Phone (03) 688 9069 Fax (03) 688 9067 Website: www.ecan.govt.nz Customer Services Phone 0800 324 636 Environment Canterbury Technical Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study of the Ashley River floodplain uses a combined one and two dimensional hydraulic computer model to estimate flood extent and depths on the Ashley River floodplain. Modelling has indicated the current capacity of the Ashley River stopbanked system is approximately equivalent to the 2% AEP (50 year return period) flood event. Breakouts however, could occur in more frequent events. Stopbank breaches and outflows onto the floodplain could potentially occur anywhere along the stopbanks. Breakout scenarios onto the floodplain have been modelled for the 1%, 0.5% and 0.2% AEP (i.e. 100, 200 and 500 year return period) events at the most likely breakout locations. The modelling indicates significant flooding to large areas of land between the Ashley and Waimakariri Rivers. Kaiapoi and adjacent areas are predicted to be flooded to depths over 1 metres in the 0.2% AEP (500 year return period) event. The impact of future urbanisation in Kaiapoi has also been modelled. It is hoped the floodplain maps and associated depths will assist land use planning within the area and provide information on minimum floor levels for new dwellings located on the floodplain, where appropriate.
