ad limina

Dec 7, 2011

Today Bishop Barry leaves NZ for the “ad limina” visit to Rome. There, with the other bishops of New Zealand, he will meet with the pope and with the offices of the curia.

Bishop Pat Dunn of Auckland has ‘podcasted’ this interview on the purpose and experience of the ad limina visit.

Welcome to the first official Diocesan podcast! In each episode, Lyndsay Freer will conduct a conversation with the Bishop about topics relevant to his ministry and the Church in Auckland.
