St John College, Cawaci
The Last Prefects' Induction for SM
The year 2022 marks the end of 132 years of Marists involvement in Cawaci, a 525-acre property in the island of Ovalau, Fiji which became a centre for the evangelization of the Fiji Islands. It hosted various schools, a catechist centre, a seminary, a teaching college and schools for boys and girls. By 1952 St John's college was the only educational institution left in Cawaci catering for both boys and girls education.
By the end of the current year, the Marist Province of Oceania will hand the school back to the Archdiocese. The Vicar Provincial, Fr Milikiade Rayalu SM led the opening mass of the new school season which started later than usual due to Covid-19, and inducted the new prefects. The Marist community in Cawaci led by Fr Lutoviko Manu SM, the current manager of the college, will leave at the end of the school year and a school governing board established by the Archdiocese will continue managing the college forward.
