Marist Superior General John Hannan meets George Duggan
On the eve of Fr George Duggan's 98th birthday, Marist Superior General John Hannan meets the oldest Marist in the world,

During the week he covered in excess 1,200kms, visiting Marists in Wellington, Palmerston North, Hawkes Bay, Wairoa and Otaki, a Maori mission station since 1844.

Commenting on his visitation of the New Zealand province, Fr Hannan said, “It’s truly is an extraordinary experience to be in a conversation with men who have given their lives so generously. I feel very privileged”.

This week Fr Hannan meets with Brian Cummings, the Provincial and later with the Provincial Council to give an initial report on his visitation.

Towards the end of the week he will meet with Archbishop John Dew, Bishop of Wellington and Metropolitan of New Zealand.
