A mass was celebrated by Cardinal Paini Mafi in Pangaimotu island, which is about 13 kilometres north of Tongatapu 2 July, 2017 to commemorate the historical event.
However, the main cultural and celebratory activities were postponed until last week in Pea to allow visitors from overseas to join while they were in the country for their Christmas holidays.
A mass celebrated by Cardinal Mafi on 27 December 2017, was followed by a wreath laying at Ha’atoka and Māhola cemeteries as well as the Catholic church known as Ma’ananga.
