Father Zangerl Well over 400 people gathered at Pawarenga last November to pay their last respects to a well-loved priest. Born in Austria 84 years ago, Father Zangerl came to New Zealand after his ordination in 1906. He had spent six months in Yugoslavia before coming, as he was to work among Dalmatians in the gum fields. After service at Purakau, Waitoreke and Rotorua, he went to Pawarenga in 1916, where he was to stay for the rest of his life. An acknowledged linguist, he wrote the Maori missal and translated the Catholic litany into Maori.
