The Bryndwr parish priest, Father Bede O’Gorman, in front of the new presbytery in Jeffreys Road, Christchurch. The building will house the priests of St Matthew’s parish and was officially opened on Sunday by the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch, the Most Rev. Basil Meeking. Built to blend architecturally with the 22-year-old church, the presbytery replaces one built in 1890. The old presbytery will be demolished or sold. The money for the new presbytery was raised from diocesan funds and gifts from parishioners.
