The first building to serve as a church at Morven was a corrugated iron shed built by Fr John Goutenoire SM. It served both as a church and a place to teach Catechism and was situated near the Morven Domain. It was surmounted by an Irish Cross. Later it was moved to Waimate where, as late as the 1960s, it still served as a shelter shed in St Patrick’s School grounds.
Education: Christian Brothers
The Irish-based religious order of Christian Brothers specialised in teaching.
