FROM CHINA
Beingdrivenout,after their25yearsofwelldoing,someoftheSisters wenttoanewmissionin Japan,nowflourishingat Fukuoka;otherscameto Perth.Therewere13 ChineseSistersnotallowedtoleaveChina,who continuedtotrytocarry ontheirdutiesasbest theycould. SisterAgnesShihwas actingasSuperiorfor these.Stu;wastakento prison,nerd*Shanghai,on March25,1958.The gaolersallownonewsto getabroad,andnoone knowswhatshemusthave sufferedinthosethree yearsimprisonmentin physicalpain,hungerand illness,orinthemental andspiritualorder,ofinsult,degradation,frustration,andtheabsenceof anybutherownpersonal religiouspractices. Heronlycomfortwould havebeentheofferingof hertrialstoGodonbehalf ofherpeople,andsufferingforHissake.Shewas 44yearsofagewhenshe reached'hereternalreward.
ThetenSisterswhoarrivedinPerthin1952as refugeesfromthemission ofChinaweregivena newfootingandanew startbyHisGraceArchbishopPrendiville,who entrustedthemwiththe thissionforaboriginal girlsatWanderingBrook, aswellasthecareofthe cookingandcleaning, makingandmendingfor thestudentsinSt.Charles' SeminaryatGuildford.
