It is 100 years since the birth into heaven of the Venerable Suzanne Aubert. Suzanne was one of the first Catholic missionaries to Aotearoa. Using local Māori and European knowledge, she made and administered herbal medicines to the Maori in Hawkes Bay, set up a mission at Jerusalem on the Wanganui River and opened the Home of Compassion and Soup Kitchen in Wellington.
The Community of the Beatitudes celebrate this occasion with a procession at the Sanctuary of Fourvière, Leithfield, NZ
