Information from Marist Archives –
“There were several church moves around 1910 including St Columba’s Presbyterian Church from Meeanee to Taradale and St Mary’s Ahuriri, moved from the hill in Napier. The building may have been moved but it most certainly was not to the seminary at Greenmeadows. We have no knowledge of where or what this building is.
The buildings moved from Meeanee to Greenmeadows were the Brothers’ House (now demolished) and the seminary building (still standing). “
