Our name
The naming of the Centre in honour of Nathaniel Knoef is a sign of our commitment to those who are the most vulnerable in the complex ethical situations which develop in their lives.
Pohutukawa
The rich symbolism of the pohutukawa embraces the beginning and end of life which together with its spiritual significance, make it a very appropriate symbol for a Catholic bioethics centre in New Zealand.
Services
The Nathaniel Centre offers a number of services to individuals and groups.
