The unveiling and blessing of the headstone for Sr Margarita Bourke took place on 28 December 2020 at Waitaruke (New Zealand). Sr Margarita died on 8 April 2018. The Prayer Service took place at the urupa (cemetery) in the Far North in Waitaruke, one of the first places the Marist Sisters went to in 1927. Sr Rita Gardiner and Sr Aloyuisa are already buried there.
The service was conducted by Fr Anthony Trenwith. Srs Kathleen, Catherine, Gemma and Lorraine, as well as friends and relatives of Margarita attended - about 35 in all. Sr Catherine and Bebe (Margarita's niece) unveiled the headstone as the blessing took place. After the service, everyone socialized and met old and new friends over kai (food) to finish the day. May Sr Margarita rest in peace!
