Scarce Vintage (Probably German) Photo Poster Stamp Missionaries of Mariannhill In Africa Maris-Stella Mission Church Unused No Gum. The Mariannhillers, officially named the Congregation of the Missionaries of Mariannhill (Latin: Congregatio Missionariorum de Mariannhill; abbreviated CMM) are a religious institute of the Catholic Church founded by Franz Pfanner. They were originally a monastery of Trappist monks founded in 1882 by Pfanner, but were later branched off as a separate congregation by decree of the Holy See. The name of the congregation comes from Mariannhill, a suburb near Pinetown in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, where the congregation was first established. Franz Pfanner, CMM, also anglicised as Francis Pfanner, was an Austrian Catholic monk and founder of what would become the Mariannhillers. He was a member of the Trappists, from whom the new order was branched off. Mariannhill is a cluster of suburbs and townships in eThekwini Municipality in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. In 1882, Trappist missionary Father Franz Pfanner established Mariannhill Monastery 16 km west of Durban. Wikipedia
A Holy Family School established in 1899, our unique, multi-faceted campus caters for girls from Grade 000 to Grade 12. This wide ranging age group fosters a sense of family and all denominations and faiths are welcome. Our aim is to instil our girls with the necessary life skills, knowledge and values, including confidence, self respect, loyalty and tolerance, to enable them to make positive contributions to South Africa and the world as a whole.
Sisters of the Holy Family Congregation arrived in Natal in 1864 and, shortly thereafter, opened a school in Broad Street, Durban. The original building on the Maris Stella site in Essenwood Road (now Stephen Dlamini Road) was constructed in 1897, and the Maris Stella Convent School was officially opened in 1899. Steady growth in enrolment during the earlier part of this century demanded the creation of additional facilities. Our Chapel was built in 1923 and the Centenary Hall was opened in 1964, marking the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the Holy Family Sisters in South Africa.
