The first Missionary Sisters were, in many ways, explorers.
At a time when travel was neither easy nor immediate, they ventured aboard makeshift aircraft, driven solely by the desire to bring the Gospel to distant and unfamiliar lands.
While leafing through the Canossian Archives at the General House in Rome, we came across a remarkable find: a first-hand account of the pioneering Sisters who arrived in São Tomé after an arduous and faith-filled journey.
We’re delighted to share it with you as an inspiring weekend read. To download the PDF ( in Italian) click HERE
