The Catholic Missionary work began in Samoa in 1845, this is an exercpt from the website, the History of Samoa:The Catholic Mission, known to the Samoans as the Church of the Pope, commenced its Work in Samoa about the year 1845, and is today firmly established throughout the whole group. One of its most famous adherents was the great Mataafa. In 1905, the construction of a beautiful cathedral in Apia, which had occupied over twenty years, was finished. The building is a landmark of white purity, and the sweetness of its bells will be remembered by all who have lived in Apia. The mission now controls numerous schools in Apia and elsewhere and an institution for instruction in tropical agriculture at Moamoa, three miles or so inland of the little capital.
