Pope Francis has appointed Fr. Steve Lowe, priest of the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch, to be the new bishop of the Diocese of Hamilton. In this brief video he reflects on life, ministry, and the new missionary challenge that he has been called to.

Ascension
Most people think of the Ascension of Jesus as being a ‘departure’ moment. Jesus was here and now he is gone. We imagine Jesus going up into the clouds and the disciples waving farewell from below.
This is an unhelpful image.
It is essential that we understand what does happen and what does not happen in the Ascension event.
It would be easy to wrongly think that in his ministry showed us how to build the city of God on earth, and now he has gone and the mission is left to us.
Welcome to Hamilton> We look forward full of hope God Bless
Looking for meeting my name sake. God Bless and looking forward to the Episcopal ordination in February. Deo Gratius
