    • Biographical / Historical note:Gilbertese catechists trained in Tahiti and established Catholicism on Nonouti in the early 1880s. In 1886 the Gilbert Islands were allocated to the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC) Vicariate of Melanesia and Micronesia, which also included Papua and New Britain. The first missionaries (Fr. Bontemps, Fr. Joseph Leray and Br. Conrad Weber) arrived in Nonouti in 1888, and succeeded in establishing the Catholic mission in a number of the Gilbert Islands in some cases against Protestant opposition. In 1897 a Vicariate Apostolic of the Gilbert Islands was established, comprised of the Gilberts, the Ellice Islands, Nauru and Ocean Island. In 1903 the Catholic headquarters moved from Nonouti to Butaritari.
