Wellington’s Archbishop John Dew said he couldn’t understand why his cellphone kept beeping at 3am while he was holidaying in Waikanae Beach.
It turned out to be a series of messages carrying prayers and congratulations after his name was included in a list of 20 new cardinals in the Catholic Church, announced by Pope Francis.
Now Archbishop John is in Rome accompanied and supported by family and friends, for the Consistory, and to receive his red hat.
The Consistory on Saturday 14th Feb, as well as the Pope’s Mass with the Cardinals on Sunday 15th Feb, will be streamed live.
The New Zealand Catholic Bishops’ conference has supplied these instructions for those who may wish to view the live streaming.
Rome is 12 hours behind NZ at present so the Consistory will be from 11pm-12.30am NZ time on Sat 14 Feb. The Pope’s Mass with the Cardinals will be from 10pm-11.30pm on Sun 15 Feb.
