Farewell, Thank You
Farewell Good and Faithful Servant: Fr Michael McVerry SM
After the annual retreat of the sector of the province, the Marists in the Suva area gathered at the Provincial to farewell Fr Michael McVerry who returns to his home province of New Zealand for medical reasons. Fr Michael has been in Oceania for over 40 years beginning in the Solomon and in Tutu for 38 years. His vision and commitment to the development of the Rural Training Centre has borne great and lasting fruits for the people of the Cakaudrove province and parts of Bua and Macuata province. Tutu has developed into a prime example of the Marist mission building up youths, adults men and women, and families. He has now handed over the rein into the capable hands of Fr Petero Matairatu SM.
