Talofa Aiga Malisi,

“ST$1 to get a Ford Raptor (Next Generation) 2023 Model!” Really? Are you serious?
Yes, Yes and definitely Yes!

Talofa Marist Family,
People are asking why we always fundraise? Ever since we started attending Marist Brothers’ schools, we have been fundraising. We sold raffle tickets, we held bazaars, we had muftis, we did wheelbarrows and we had Siva Samoa and Tausala/Manaia at Feiloaimauso Hall (as it was then called). Now we are no longer at school, but we are still fundraising!

Greetings Marist Family,
Did you guys know that aside from our main draw for the Ford Raptor Next Gen (2023 Model), we also have 11 fortnightly draws leading up to the main draw. Yes folks, 11 fortnightly draws! Get off the grass!

VODAFONE MARIST INDEPENDENCE MEGA RAFFLE 2022 - MBOPA announces prizes for the 1st fornightly draw on thursday 28th July 2022

Hello Marist Family.
Since our raffle’s launch, we have heard of EXCITEMENT and CONFUSION.
Excitement is being caused by the main prize: Ford Raptor Next Gen (2023 Model) worth ST$270,000.

Marist Old Pupils Association in Otago donated $5000.00 SAT to our MBOPA mother body to go towards our school developments.

After 26 years of service as a Marist Brother in Samoa, Br Christopher Maney was farewelled by Marist Brothers Old Pupils Association (MBOPA) on 15 th June 2022. Br Chris returns to New Zealand (via Rome, Italy) where he will continue his lifelong service as a Marist Brother.

The time the Brothers came to set up their school again in Samoa, was a time of tense political uncertainty which had been simmering since the 1870’s.

In 1888 Bishop Lamaze SM visited France and made application to the Superior General of the Marist Brothers, Rev. Brother Theophane, for Brothers to re-open their mission in Apia.

St Joseph’s College was the first secondary school to be established in Samoa. It opened in doors to 19 Third Form students in February 1950 and were housed in the yet to be completed two-storey concrete building with Brother Jerome Devlin as its first Principal.

One of the Brothers who had originally taught in Apia, and who returned to Sydney when the Brothers withdrew in 1877, was Br Landry.
