Reflections
Are you a Catholic school teacher, parent, or someone interested in Catholic education? Then this event might be for you!
Parishes and parish schools play significant roles in the Church’s mission of evangelisation. Yet in practice, their relationship with one another is complex and frequently misunderstood or undervalued. In Aotearoa New Zealand, this relationship is further shaped by a Catholic education system that is globally unique, presenting both distinct challenges and opportunities.
Colin MacLeod will initially share findings from his doctoral research, alongside insights from his experience as a Catholic educator and Director of the National Centre for Religious Studies (NCRS). The second session, after morning tea, will develop a practical overview of governance, leadership, Religious Education, and the school preference system.
Date: 6 September
Time: 9:30am-1:00pm
Venue: Connolly Hall, The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Sacred Heart
Morning tea provided.

Kinh Nguyen’s Ordination + livestream link
It was a special day on Saturday, 12 July as Deacon John the Baptist Kinh Van Nguyen was Ordained at Sacred Heart Cathedral.
Originally from Vietnam, Kinh began studying at the Holy Cross Seminary in Auckland in 2019. During his formation, he wrote: “when we give something to others, we do not lose it, but we really receive something back, and that is the beauty of a life of service.”
Kinh’s father and brother travelled from Vietnam to Wellington for his Ordination. Many more friends and family watched the ceremony...
