We are well into the New Year. Last year, some of the Daughters made a three day Pilgrimage from Temuka to Mt St Joseph's Kakahu, Geraldine, NZ (not following a direct route!). The Pilgrimage was in reparation for the many Pilgrimages around the world that had been cancelled due to lockdowns.
We are pilgrims here on earth in our journey to Life Eternal. Even the mysterious Three Kings were pilgrims, they followed a Star to find Jesus…. And in a way, we all search for God to a greater or lesser extent … knowingly or unknowingly…. And so we become true pilgrims without even realizing it.

We found a lost sheep and returned it to it's own flock.
The word pilgrim comes from the Latin word “peregrinum”. A pilgrimage is not a purposeless journey, walk or wandering; rather it is a journey with a higher purpose and that purpose is to honour God.

The Pilgrimage ended with a final Mass at Mt St Joseph's Kakahu, Monastery.
Our new cell is now finished, thank you for your prayers and contributions.
Father Anthony Mary blesses the new cell.
We are very grateful for all your support, God bless you!
