Bishop Paul Martin ordained in Christchurch
The SM Bulletin for the 9th March reports:
"On Saturday 3 March the past Bursar General, Father Paul Martin, was ordained Bishop of Christchurch by Cardinal John Dew. Fr John Larsen who is visiting the Pacific was present at the celebration... At the conclusion of the ceremony after the blessing of the faithful, Bishop Paul said: I am very blessed being born into a family that is stable, loving and showed me what living a Christian life looks like. Growing up in Hastings there were 14 Marists living in the presbytery and so I had lots of great examples of how Marist life could be lived."
We Marist Sisters congratulate Bishop Paul and rejoice that the wider Church is receiving such a gift!
Blessings on you, Bishop Paul - may Mary continue to accompany you throughout your new journey.
