Marianist 125th Anniversary

September 5, 2008 marked the 125th anniversary of the Brothers of Mary (Marianists) coming to the Island of Maui. To celebrate this significant event, the Marianists on Maui held a Mass of Thanksgiving at St. Anthony Church followed by a festive social and dinner at Maui Tropical Plantation. Fr. Roland was the main celebrant and Fr. Jerry gave the homily at the Mass featuring the highlights of the history of the Marianist on Maui. At the dinner Bro. Jim gave his personal reflections of his experiences here at the parish and schools. Over 220 parishioners and friends of the Marianists celebrated with us and our Marianist brothers who came over from Honolulu to participate in the celebration. Our parish staff did a marvelous job of preparing for this event. Sr. Eva Joseph made the flower arrangements of protea flowers which were donated by Robin Shimabuku. Co-chairs for this event was Tehani Shimabuku and Fr. Roland. The highlight of the dinner was a presentation given by Dr. Herman Aizawa - 1959 graduates of St. Anthony High School.
