10 Tuesday September 24 2019 News Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz PEGASUS POST Volunteer picks up skills AFRICA SEEMED a world away to Fil Jansons. That was until he spent seven months volunteering as a tradie on board the world’s largest civilian hospital ship earlier this year. The New Brighton resident travelled to Guinea, West Africa, to join the Mercy Ships technical crew. Mr Jansons believes tradies are often hidden heroes, and on the Mercy Ship they fill essential roles that do not often come to mind when people think of hospital ships. His work as an electronics technician is vital to the Mercy Ship functioning as a floating first-world hospital in the developing nations the charity serves. Being on the ship benefited Mr Jansons greatly. “My days were never the same. I had the opportunity to work on variety of systems, machines and equipment, ranging from auto fire detection systems, fuel purifiers, cranes, main distribution switchboards, medical air monitoring systems, many marine electronics, and much more. As a technician at home I would need to work for several different industries to gain that sort of experience,” he said. BENEFICIAL: Fil Jansons spent seven months volunteering as a tradie for Mercy Ships on board the world’s largest civilian hospital ship. Mr Jansons was personally impacted by the faith-based charity’s mission to deliver free essential surgery to West Africa poor, as well as being challenged professionally. “The broad range of people that I met on board was inspiring. On the technical side, I found more confidence in dealing with machines and systems I’d never handled before, and was able to pass on what I knew to other people.” St Bede’s gets its chapel back A SEVEN-YEAR, $20 million rebuild and refurbishment of the St Bede’s College chapel is complete. Devastated by the 2011 earthquake, the chapel was demolished. For seven years a temporary chapel was used, while funding was secured to enable the rebuild. The campus master plan was re-designed to place the chapel at the forefront of the school. Rector Justin Boyle said the chapel is the college’s most important building. “The return of the chapel is a clear statement of who we are and what we stand for, a Catholic, Marist College, and we welcome its return,” said Rector Boyle. “The chapel is the soul of our school, connecting with our newly-refurbished performing arts centre and in keeping with the historic buildings that dot our grounds. “These two wonderful new buildings reflect our holistic approach to education, supporting boys to develop into wellrounded men,” he said. Wilkie & Bruce Architects designed the new chapel in a collegiate Gothic style to integrate with the original 1920s buildings of the campus. “As well as looking like it’s always been there, the new building references the original by incorporating restored stained-glass windows, pews, crucifix and the ornate carved oak reredos from the old chapel. “Each of the 12 stained-glass windows tell their own story, with the centrepiece being the Matthew Paul Daly Memorial Window, which reflects the school’s origins and values in a depiction of Mary and the teenage Christ,” said architect and certified heritage professional Alec Bruce. The chapel build was financed by more than 400 donors, all of whom were invited to the chapel’s opening last week. A total of $3.5 million was required for the build, with community donations coming from the Society of Mary, the college’s Board of Proprietors and the College Foundation. The Chapel of St Bede was officially opened last week with a mass by Bishop Paul Martin.
