In the late 1800’s, Dr. John Geddi went as a missionary to the South Pacific. For twenty four years, he worked on the island of Aneityum. When he left, the indigenous people put up a monument in his memory. On it were inscribed these words: “When he landed, in 1848, there were no Christians. When he left, in 1872, there were no heathens.” This is the work of the true Christian: to bring to others the gospel that has the power to change all people. This, too, is the work of the Catholic School that forms young people to be good Christians.
