Comments: Greetings and Merry Christmas and congrats on your renovation. I am s serious collector of folk art nativity scenes and am doing research on how the tradition is reflected in different societies. I have tried before to find and acquire a nativity scene made by a New Zealand artisan, but did not succeed. However, I am still trying and was wondering if you could be of any assistance to me. Are there any NZ artisans who create such religious work? Do you have any references I might pursue? Or do you have any information on the tradition as it is observed in NZ? I don't mean to impose on you. Thanks for your attention.

Keep the faith and spread it.

He met a girl (1943?) named Glen Larkin in Dunedin while he was in the Merchant Marines docked for 2 days. I would love if Dad could locate her while he was there...Can you recommend how we could locate her if she still lives in Dunedin? Thank you for any help or advice you can give!

Comments: Absolutely fascinating website. Will have to come back and visit it again as there is too much to take in at one visit. Congratulations on it. My interest comes from the fact that my great grand-parents Harriett Jubber and Edward McGraw were married in the Roman Catholic Chapel in Dunedin by Fr Moreau on 19 April 1863. Their three eldest children were baptised there between 1865 and 1867. The eldest child was 18 months old when he was baptised. When I was researching the family in the 1980's Fr Campbell was most helpful in supplying me with information.

Comments: Greetings of peace!

 I was browsing through the internet and I came across with your website.  I would like to commend and support the dioceses that are having websites.  It is our way of keeping abreast with technology and proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ even through the internet.

By the way, I am Reverend Jose Ramil E. Enteria, 34 years old, a diocesan priest from the Diocese of Sorsogon, Philippines.  I was ordained by my then bishop Jesus Y. Varela, D.D. last April 21, 1999. I had my seminary formation at San Jose Seminary, Quezon City, Philippines under my Jesuit mentors.  It is quite interesting to note the ministries you have in your local church.  I've been serving our diocese in various capacities, as assistant parish priest, as  spiritual director and instructor in our seminary and just recently as chancellor of the diocese until May 31, 2004.  Currently, I'm enrolled here at the Loyola School of Theology in Ateneo de Manila University Philippines for my Licentiate in Sacred Theology.

At this point in my ministry, I am entertaining the possibility of serving communities of different cultures and your diocese sounds interesting to me.

Thank you and may God bless you abundantly!

know visits this site sometimes. St josephs is really a kool church as I have been
part of it for the last 7 years, everyone is very welcoming and open and very
friendly. I'm now 16 and started going there when I came from Australia when i was 9
years old. the church is absolutely beautiful and the Dominican priory has so much
history in it that it kind of makes you wonder what kind of stuff it has seen go by
and how much life in Dunedin has grown with it. if anyone out there is looking for a
church to join or come and visit then St josephs is definitely it because its simply
beautiful you should check it out for yourselves. anyway wonderful site. later
