From THE FIRST WAVE OF FRENCH MARISTS by Michael O'Meeghan SM, 2008, 17.


Fr JEAN-ANDRÉ TRIPE, aged 43 (on arrival in New Zealand in Group IV on 11 Jul 1840).


He was not a Marist, but a priest who volunteered his services on a trial basis. Pompallier took him to Akaroa on the Sancta Maria, arriving on 20 October 1840, and left him there with charge of the French colonists. He became discouraged by the religious indifference shown by most and returned to Kororareka in mid-November 1842. A year later he left to return to France.
