Sisters for Fijian Mission
MEMBERS of the order of the Sisters of Charity, who are to educate novices and postulants at Cawaci mission station on Ovalau, Fiji, attended a liturgical farewell in Sydney before they left.
They go to Cawaci in response to a request from the Catholic Bishop of Fiji, Bishop Foley. Last October the Superior-General, Mother M. Agnes, and one of her
assistants, Mother M. Margaret, visited Fiji to learn more of the nature of the work to be under taken.
The sisters in the first group of missionaries include Mother M.
Peter Fennessy, who will organise the work, Sister M. Florance Bailey and Sister M. Mark Lehman.
Bishop Carroll, auxiliary to Cardinal Gilroy, in an address, said that at this stage the Order was sending a small party of sisters to Oceania to prepare members of an indigenous congrega tion for a certain standard of education.
