History was made on April 13 when the Sponsorship Committee, formed three years ago to plan for the creation of a Ministerial Public Juridic Person (MPJP), held its last meeting.
The conclusion of its work was signalled in the completion of documents to be sent to Rome, in support of a request from Ngā Whaea Atawhai o Aotearoa Sisters of Mercy New Zealand that the Holy See approve the establishment of the MPJP, to be known as Whānau Mercy Ministries.
