ir v More Sisters to Africa ON OCTOBER 6, the COCJ student body welcomed the new missionaries who were on their way to Liberia, a tiny country on the west coast of Africa. Mother John Joseph, the superior of the Plebo mission spoke to us for a few moments. In her talk she sketched a picture of the country and gave us a few insights into the Liberian society and behaviour. She touched, too, on the highlights of the missionary preparation course she had taken with her two companions, Sister Raphaella and Sister Mary Michael. We were also impressed by the fact that these missionaries were going to Africa realizing that they had much to learn from the natives as well as much to teach them. We were inspired too by their conviction that the greatest challenge was not that of adjusting to climate or overcoming fears but of giving Christ to the Liberians • Sister John Joseph WER LEFT I to r: Sister Raphaella, ter John Joseph, Sister Mary chael.
