Dear
Marist St Pats extends its deepest sympathy to those who have lost family and friends in the Christchurch earthquake. The club has many links with Christchurch rugby clubs and colleges, with the sevens team from Marist Albion playing at Evans Bay just weeks ago. A tragedy such as this puts sport and rugby into perspective, and the thoughts and prayers of club members are with all the people of Christchurch who have suffered such devastating losses.
The profile of St Pat's College rugby and its links with Marist St Pats have been boosted by the addition of a College section to the MSP website. The new section went live on 25 February >>>
