History of the Marist Cricket Carnival
45th Australasian Marist Cricket Carnival Carnival Programme Proudly hosted by Sacred Heart College, Auckland, NZ 5 – 11 December 2017 Welcome A very warm and genuine New Zealand welcome to all players, coaches, parents, officials and supporters to the 2017 Marist Cricket Carnival. Sacred Heart College welcomes visitors from Lismore Trinity Catholic College, Trinity Beenleigh College, St Joseph’s College, Canberra Marist College and Assumption College Kilmore. You are all most welcome to our College and I hope that your time with us is both enjoyable and memorable. Such occasions bind us together as a larger part of the Marist family. These opportunities remind us all of the wonderful and special heritage which we cherish in being Catholic, Marist and Champagnat Colleges. St Marcellin is smiling down on us. I know that you will enjoy the beautiful City of Auckland, our City of Sails and I am equally confident that you will take home with you special experiences and memories of your visit to New Zealand, the Land of the Long White Cloud. My sincere thanks and appreciation to Mr Nick Guise, our Director of Sport, and the Carnival Organising Committee. I especially want to acknowledge and thank all our host families who will enable our Australian visitors to enjoy a slice of New Zealand. To all the sponsors and the many volunteers, thank you for your significant support. Finally, to each and every young Marist man who is competing at the Carnival, cherish the occasion. Take home with you not only sporting success, but more importantly the realisation that such occasions confirm you once again as a member of a much bigger more significant world-wide team – the Marist Family.
