Loved friend of many, Mercy Sister and Scripture writer for Tui Motu magazine, Professor Elaine Wainwright, died in Brisbane on Friday 5 July 2024.

There are many people involved at different levels of production, distribution and readership of Tui Motu magazine and over the years we have become a community.

Each issue of Tui Motu has a mix of contributing writers and artists.

Tui Motu magazine is blessed with volunteers in Dunedin and in many places around the motu.

We received many messages about each issue or in response to a specific article, poem or artwork within the issues. The following is a taste of the flow of encouragement that came our way during the year.

During the Season of Creation, 1 September — 4 October the feast of St Francis of Assisi, we published daily email messages to those who registered for them.

As well as publishing the magazine monthly we are constantly seeking to increase our subscription list.

The financial statement shows careful stewarding of resources, the huge generosity of donors and increases of income in some areas.
