The President General of the Society of St Vincent de Paul, Signor Renato Lima de Oliveira, visited Sancta Maria Parish in Christchurch recently
Wednesday the 25 January was a very special day for the Sisters of Compassion, when the remains of Venerable Suzanne Aubert were transferred, from her grave in the grounds of the Home of Compassion, Island Bay to a side chapel, next to the main chapel of the Sisters.
Suzanne Aubert, the founder of the Sisters of Compassion New Zealand’s home grown order of Sisters, has been declared ‘venerable’, a major milestone on the path to sainthood in the Catholic Church.
