A Joyful Gathering of the Pacific Islands Group
The Pacific Islands group in Rome gathered for a joyful celebration hosted by the Missionary Sisters of the Society of Mary at Via Cassia. A large number were present and the occasion was especially significant as it marked the last gathering before Father Setefano Mataele, sm, leaves Rome to take up a new mission. A highlight was the presence of Marist Sisters, Seini Fatai and Kalala Kiutau (sister of Sr Malia Koreti Kiutau) who were in Rome attending a congregational renewal.
