Coinciding with the feast of the Holy Trinity, Fr Barry Scannell SM celebrated the club’s Annual Mass at the club’s Hataitai clubrooms on Sunday, 31 May.
As a past player for MSP, Fr Barry reconnected after several years away from the capital.
The annual Mass helps to ensure that all those involved with senior and junior rugby and netball sporting teams–coaches, managers, players, and supporters–reflect the club’s Catholic ethos.
Those present also remembered in their prayers recently deceased club members and supporters.
The club maintains strong links with Marist schools, such as St Patrick’s College in Kilbirnie and Silverstream.
Archbishop Paul is the patron of the club. Fr Barry serves as club chaplain.
