This last weekend, focussed around the Relic Statue of Don Bosco, was pretty hectic. Fr John Papworth asked if the Samoan Youth could prepare a cultural presentation. We chose Don Bosco’s dream for Australia but firstly, the kids performed a Samoan traditional story about how the first missionaries arrived in our country. The story starts with Malietoa, a ruler, who gave up his old ruthless ways of ruling so he can accept the new kingdom which was fortold by a warrior goddess and came to fruition with the missionaries eventually brought this kingdom on our shores. We organised 3 rehearsals within 7 days. The kids were pretty amazing, they were quiet at the rehearsals but brought real energy onto the stage when it counted.
