Your Ambassador has been busy... On Saturday I joined the pilgrims from the Parish of Otara and set off on foot to conquer Auckland! We walked the Auckland Coast to Coast walkway which begins in Onehunga on the Manukau harbour, winds its way up One Tree Hill, un-winds down and then finishes at the Viaduct on the Waitemata Harbour.
The walk was organised so that these pilgrims get a better idea of the great pilgrim walk towards Randwick racecourse on Satuday19th July. And so, bring it on in Sydney!
Whilst on the slopes of One Tree Hill the intrepid wanderers sent a message to Pope Benedict XVI assuring a warm welcome to him from the youth of Otara! Check it out:
Made from igneous rocks and visible fr0m the moon, the message says: "EAGLES (the name of their youth group) OTARA LOVES B16 (Pope Benedict 16) - Cool Aye? 
Yesterday I was at the Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption Onehunga to lend my limited cooking expertise at a breakfast fundraiser . A 1st Class breakfast was on offer for parishioners after each of the Sunday Masses. The young people of the parish worked hard to ensure the plates flew from the kitchen to the tables.
Congratulations to the young people of Our Lady of the Assumption who by their fundraising thermometer have raised a whopping $30,000.00!
And you think after all that, I could rest... nope it was more meeting people and cuddling babies and Ambassador stuff like that....
...oh and in between all of that I got to watch the rugby... go the Blues!
If you would like me to attend your events and fundraisers, I am good at almost everything! Just give me a buzz and let me know if I can be of assistance.
Well, until next week my dear friends... look out I may show up at your place soon!
