When in Rome do as the tourists do—consult a map. That's what these two young native nuns. Sister Joscpha Nangumaia and Sister Aloisia Imbue, both from the Wewak District of New Guinea, are doing, assisted by an American nun who was their guide. It was probably the first time New Guinea native missionaries (or NG natives, for that matter) have visited Rome. They were en route to a Eucharistic Congress in Munich and their travel expenses were paid by German Catholics. That's St, Peter's in the background of the photo, of course.
