A sad staff death at PRS, Fiji. Australian MSC support
19th March
It is with heavy hearts we at Pacific Regional Seminary of Saint Peter Chanel heard of the untimely death of Fr. Joe Tuimavule. It a huge loss for the Seminary, Vincentian Community and Fr Joe's family. He was a good Moral Theology lecturer who valued and lived by what he taught in the classroom.
A tribute from his Vincentian confreres: It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we the Vincentians Fathers and Brothers, Fiji Community, officially inform you of the passing away of Fr Joseva Tuimavule CM, Superior and Director of Vincentian Formation, Fiji. We acknowledge the gift of Fr Joe in the Province of Oceania and his creative love for the mission.
The Funeral Mass for Fr Joseva will be on the 25th of March, the Feast of the Annunciation.
The academic year had already begun. Fr Simon Mani MSC, rector of PRS, contacted Chris McPhee who contacted Philip Malone who has just retired from teaching Moral Theology at YTU.
The first classes by Zoom with Philip and the 13 students began on Wednesday March 23rd and will continue until the end of the semester.
