Michael MCVERRY Obituary

Thank you for all the childhood memories we spend with you at Marist Training Center Tutu We love you so much Fr.

Fr Mike was a very special priest to us. His warm welcome when we met him, his enthusiasm and dedication for Worldwide Marriage Encounter was so heartwarming and inspiring. Thank you dear Fr Mike for being such a wonderful gift to us from God. May you now Rest In Peace as you so deserve. We love you! Daniel & Shelley, Singapore

I was at Silverstream with Fr Michael 57 to 59 glade we got together for a reunion in Palmerston North a couple years ago.Sympathy to all,and to Tim I am still playing golf.

The McVerry and the Knight family lived on Kawhia road in Pirongia years ago. I remember Michael was older than me. I used to correspond with Michael when he was in Fiji.
He did visit us years ago. Somehow we had lost touch. My thoughts are with Tim, Paul and Kathrine at the loss of a brother. Would love to be there for his send off. Regards Val Diprose nee Knight. My sister Helen sends her sympathy as well.

When we think of Fr Mike we always smile & feel so privileged to have met him and shared time with him and the ME family in NZ & in Tutu. Mike´s vision for community deeply inspired us and his sense of fun was contagious. His life & love changed other’s lives and loving - so beautifully. A rare man & priest. RIP

We love and know Fr Mike through Worldwide Marriage Encounter.
It has been a privilege and blessing to serve with him in this beautiful movement.
He has been friend and mentor in our lives and we will miss him dearly.
Rest in peace beautiful man of God. We love you.

My husband Peter remembers Father Michael at St Patrick´s College,Silverstream as a boarder in the late 1950´s .Sympathy to the family.May he RIP

I met Mike first at the Mount (Greenmeadows) in 1962.He was next to me in birthday dates of the 21 young men in the band.A memorable special man with the gifts of warmth and friendship.Still sad we did not go and visit Mike at his beloved Tutu after he invited Sue and I at one of our truly memorable reunions in 2002
Bless you Mike for your great Marist life
