Just a friendly reminder from our secretary Joanne. Please remember to add your name and customer number to your online payments. Your customer number is on your label and on your invoice.

Justin Boyle has resigned as Rector of St Bede’s College, Christchurch. Justin was the first layman to lead the College and has been the longest serving rector in the College’s history. He will take up a new role for the Society of Mary as Director of Special Charism for the three SM owned Colleges: St Patrick’s College, Kilbirnie; St Bede’s College, and St Patrick’s College, Silverstream.

With the appointment of Fr Pat, our editor, to the Society of Mary Casa Generalitia in Rome, the search for a new editor is underway at the time of printing. It is proving a difficult task. Print magazines around the world are struggling to remain viable. Covid and the cost of living crisis have impacted our readership negatively. This is an additional challenge for the Messenger. Please pray for the future of the Marist Messenger.
