Deacon Philip Mauel from Luxembourg joined the Archdiocese of Wellington staff in January. Philip has served the Archdiocese of Luxembourg as a deacon for the last five years working in both pastoral ministry and diocesan finance. He and his family have come to New Zealand so his children can take up educational opportunities here. Philip will continue to be employed by the Archdiocese of Luxembourg and the Archbishop of Luxembourg has generously made him available to work with the Archdiocese of Wellington while he is here. He will undertake various pastoral appointments, finance, and capital-projects work within the Archdiocese and will also work within the Archdiocesan Curia.
