The Sponsorship Committee held its first meeting for the year on 9 February.

Two priorities emerged from the  meeting. The first was the preparation of documents required by Rome for the establishment of Whānau Mercy Ministries, the PJP which is in the process of being formed by Ngā Whaea Atawhai o Aotearoa Sisters of Mercy New Zealand.

The second priority  was to clarify the process for selecting and forming the trustees who will serve on the Whānau Mercy Ministries Trust. A process will be led by the Congregation’s Leadership Team to identify and invite potential trustees. The number and criteria for trustees are already determined in the PJP statutes.
