Farewelling the Marist Brothers

It was an emotional evening on Friday, 25 July at Sts Peter and Paul Church in the Hutt, as the Wellington Catholic community said farewell to the Marist Brothers after 149 years of service in the region.

Archbishop Paul and Cardinal John celebrated a Mass giving thanks to all the work the Brothers have done over the years. Following the Mass were speeches from others whose lives the Brothers have touched, and a shared evening tea.

The last two Marist Brothers in the Wellington region are moving up to Auckland....
