A Life Shaped by Faith, Friendship & Resilience - Our February Spotlight
21 February 2026
Melevesi Gonerogo (née Rakai) reflects on a life grounded in simplicity, service, and enduring friendship. Forging lifelong bonds at St. Joseph’s Secondary School, her story is one of courage, cultural connection, and quiet determination. Guided by the Cluny Sisters and inspired by her love of English and reading, Melevesi’s journey led her into librarianship, faith-filled service, and a legacy that now spans children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
