Easter Monday Gathering at Convent

 We had a Parish Gathering at our Convent. Our section of the Parish is called Group or Area 4

The Sisters invited the families in the group to bring something to eat and to arrive around 4.00pm.

We provided cordial and home made donuts.

A canoe pulled along side our bank with a large catch of fish.


Here we see the woman placing the fish on a bag. From L to R are Sisters Sharon, Dulcie and Mildred, Anna a woman from the parish is on the end.

We ended up purchasing 20 KINA of fish. Each fish cost 1 K.

We are cooking them for supper this evening as we have Fr Jonathan OFM Cap. staying with us and coming on to Aitape to give the majority of sessions at the Gathering of Sisters.

 Rosella, the PNG Leader of our Sisters is in this photo with Fr Ericko, who is the Priest in our Parish. He is a Spiritian, Once known as The Holy Ghost Fathers from Africa

They have been in this Parish for quite some time. They were also in Aitape for many years with our Sisters and Fr Pat was in Fatima for many years and then moved to Australia and was in Woorabinda, with the aboriginal people.

Here are a couple of the women. Dorothy in the green and her little daughter Avanka also in green

We had a lovely sunset on the water just at the front of the convent. 

I am a bit out of order here as I have forgotten to put in some photos from Easter Sunday!

I am off to Aitape tomorrow, Wednesday. Internet might not be as easy to get, but I will try to add something to this Blog whenever possible. I am enjoying my experience here very much
