St Joseph’s Cathedral

  1. Hey Hannah,

    This is Jade C from the Summer Learning Journey team! It's already Wednesday, do you have any plans for this weekend? I think I am going to go to a waffle and gelato shop in Parnell, Auckland. I am super excited! :)

    Wow, it's heartbreaking to see the damaged Cathedral, I've heard about it being destroyed but I have never actually seen the image of the destroyed building. It's more sad because you can compare the before and after version of the building. I wonder how long it will take to reconstruct the cathedral! It took 40 years to build before, I wish it will take less than that as we have modern technology now.

    Perhaps you could also write down some other interesting information about this cathedral, such as how big it is, where it is... etc.

    I look forward to reading more of your posts :)

    All the best,
    Jade C.

  2. Kia Ora Hannah,

    I’m Dani, a member of the Summer Learning Journey team. I normally comment on blogs in the Kaikohekohe cluster ( Northland) but I have been lucky enough to get the chance to visit some blogs in the Uru Manuka cluster!

    It is very sad to see the damage that has occured to the Christchurch Cathedral. I didn’t realise the extent of the damage until I just looked at the two pictures, side by side. I remember reading that the Cathedral has survived several earthquakes since the 1800s and this was the first earthquake to cause damage to the structure of the whole cathedral. I am glad that the decision has been made to restore the Cathedral so many generations of New Zealanders can enjoy the beauty and the history of the Cathedral.

    Keep up the great work!

    -Dani
