Mission Transfiguration: The Archdiocese of Suva Handbook This handbook, produced by MOBDELTA to assist the catholics in Fiji is the essential roadmap for the Archdiocese of Suva (AOS), translating the seven-goal Pastoral Mission Plan, Connecting in Jesus, into concrete parish action. It mandates a shift from passive maintenance to authentic transformation. The core strategy is unifying the work of seven Parish Commissions through mandatory inter-commission collaboration and systematic, quarterly monitoring. This model leverages Small Christian Communities (SCCs) as the foundational vehicle for decentralised, localised mission delivery. The goal is to offer an integrated, prophetic, and compassionate response to urgent Fijian crises from the ecological threat of rising seas to youth vulnerability and domestic fragmentation by fully engaging the entire People of God.

Music has been always a spontaneity to many culture however when order is required for elevated purposes difficulty creeps in because it requires mental and physical investment and work. This work done by Marist Old Boys Delta unit is part of that effort how ever this was to store the tunes and propagate it so it may be used all over and so the meaning of being catholic is realised where unity is addressed. Where the Art of music is once again elevated and faithfuls must aspire to its heights of beauty.

Waivakaviti is in english is Fijian Medicine. Medicine Native to Fijians or used by Fijians. This mostly include parts of plants or combinations of several parts. It discusses parts of plants, how to prepare, administer and dosage. It decentralises medicine-making giving the so called trade secrets to others. Medicine making was kept secret because it was community edge over others it was an asset extra knowledge meant control. Something like what pharmaceutical companies are doing now...holding the cure as a form of control to get money. Waivakaviti is that counter to control it has collected a handful of knowledge of Medicine men and women and the result is this written in the Fijian Language. An english version may be added later
