Mission

Baroness Maria Augusta von Trapp of the world-famous Trapp Family Singers. The family PIM February, p. 111) decided some time ago to devote a year to Roman Catholic mission work in Papua-New Guinea, so that when they return to their home in the USA they will be equipped to start a society for lay helpers of the mission.

The Baroness' daughters, Maria and Rose naria, and son Johannes, have been in P-NG since last November. Baroness von Trapp,

accompanied by the family chaplain, Monsignor

Franz Wasner, went to the Territory later and visited Yule Island, Samarai, Rabaul, Bougain ville, Solomons, New Ireland and Wewak.
