Shaun Davison, who trained as a Marist priest at St Mary’s in Hawkes Bay in the mid-1970s has written a book about his time there, with interviews with 21 other men who went through the seminary.
The book has resulted in a degree of interest from the general public and has been interviewed twice on Radio New Zealand Nation.
Davison is now the head of religious studies at Pompallier College in Whangarei.
