Hanrahan, who in adulthood had thin ascetic features remarkably like Liston's own, was later to become New Zealand provincial of the Christian Brothers with the religious name Brother Benignus. At about the same time that Liston began his priestly studies [1893, he was 12 years old], Hanrahan [at the age of 16] (without his parents' knowledge) was spirited away to the Brothers' novitiate in Geelong, Australia, to begin his training. This was referred to as a 'kidnapping'. Much later, when he was Bishop of Auckland, Liston negotiated with his former classmate when he introduced the Christian Brothers into his diocese upon the foundation of St Peter's College in Epsom in 1939."

He had been feeling unwell for some days before his death on October 23 and had sought medical advice. It is thought he died of a heart attack. Brother Rubisz had been teaching at the Christian Brother’s School Nuketere College. The Christian Brothers Community and staff and students of Nuketere College were shocked and saddened by his sudden death. Brother Rubisz, a St Peter’s old Boy, taught at Liston College from 1983 to 1988. He taught mathematics and coached cricket and soccer. During his time at Liston he was been form teacher of 5L and 6J. Brother John O'Neil, who also once taught at Liston, posted the following message on the internet within hours of discovering his workmate and friend's body: 'No doubt you all know by now the sad news about Ignacy. 24 hours after he died so suddenly it seems impossible to believe that he is gone. The house is so empty without him. He came back here this year after an absence of five years and was very happy. He said so many times this year "I am just so glad to be here!" Sometimes he said this during prayer time and at other times just when we were sitting on the veranda chatting. Brother Rubisz spoke so often of the 'extraordinarily good children' that he dealt with. In their turn they found him an extraordinarily good friend and teacher. He was very proud to be a Brother and believed very strongly that his way of life was an inspiration to so many people.' Brother O’Neil goes on to say that Ignacy was an excellent companion both in community and at prayer. His course in the USA had meant so much to him and had done so much for him. 'We are so sorry to lose him but we do take comfort from knowing that he was happy and contented here and we know he will be looking over us from heaven.' A memorial service was held for both Brothers John Shepherd and Ignacy Rubisz at St Benedict’s in early November. Chris Rooney and Paul Houghton as well as a number of Old Boys attended the memorial service. Brother Rubisz was buried in Rarotonga and Brother Shepherd was buried in Dunedin. deceased NZ Christian Brothers: http://www.edmundrice.org.nz/index.php?page=/christianbro/index.htm
