Thanksgiving Service

The thanksgiving service was attended by Afioga i le Ao Mamalu o le Malo Tuimaleali'ifano Va'aletoa Sualauvi II and Masiofo, Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mataafa and Members of the Cabinet, Toa Samoa team and management, and Manu Samoa 7s team with family and friends.

Savali newspaper reports the church service was led by National Council of Churches (NCC) Chairman Rev. Aisoli Iuli.

Toa Samoa created history when they became the first Pacific team to play in the Rugby League World Cup last month.

Papalii also took the opportunity to acknowledge the officers for their hard work as part of efforts to keep people safe.

The police force held a thanksgiving service at EFKS Hall in Mulinuu yesterday. 

Awards and consolation prizes were presented to recipients and senior sergeants were issued with their police badges.

The service is usually held every year to not only acknowledge the work the officers do but also to start the usual police festive season operation.
