A tiny addition to the collection…
The Diocese of Auckland archives received a monstrance shaped souvenir badge from a priest in Northland. The enamel and zinc badge commemorates the first National Eucharistic Congress held in New Zealand in 1940 during the country's official centenary.
The badge features the text 1840 N.Z 1940 Nat Euch Cong on the bottom. A similar item is held by Te Papa, which identifies the manufacturer as Theo Meyer Ltd of Auckland.
