Recent History

The Old Boys’ Union continues with what many fine men have given, namely  an abundance of creative time and effort to ensure, for over a century: that the OBU prevails, to support Marist causes and the Old Boys' fraternity.

.........................................................................................................................................................................................

Current Initiative:        

In keeping with OBU tradition of supporting Marist causes, while pursuing the ideals of the Marist Assn of St Marcellin Champagnat, the OBU resolved to continue supporting the Kuya Center through Br. Paul Murphy and also what had just been a young, lone Marist voice in 2009 (1miracle.org), promulgating "The Children's Manifesto".

That young voice of a son of a Darlo Old Boy, has since gathered many other young voices in numerous languages. Like a wildfire, the statement of rights of children is burning a pathway across nations, into the aspirations of the young, to forge a better way forward for humankind.

Following a 24-day vigil by students of Marist Canberra, leading up to Universal Children's Day, the statement of rights was carried across nations and cultures around the world, being delivered in English, Chinese, Farsi (Persian), Filipino, French, Japanese, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Sign language.

The Children’s Manifesto ©

We the children, the innocent, the impoverished, the fun-loving, the abused, the trusting, the disillusioned, the homicidal, the forgiving, the suicidal, the hope-filled, we ask to be heard.

 We have a spirit, a common, irrepressible spirit and it demands to be heard, please.

 We offer you love, regardless of your colour, regardless of your race, regardless of your religious creed, regardless of your circumstance, we offer you love.

 Creativity is spawning, soon it shall be morning,

We the children know; our new millennium's dawning.

Like dawning's rays spread hope

A blessed path awaits us

Deliver us not from evil, for only God will do that,

But unto that, which we can justly say is ours.

A world in which we may

Have a parent, or two,

Be creative; and never want for food,

Be open and free to trust,

Be innocent and free of the horrors of war;

Be healthy and never want for medicine,

Be able to use our inspiration, both collective and individual,

and simply ask you, and others, to accept our inherent, abundant love

to help build a better world.
