Mission Display

A most interesting and informative display of the work done by the nuns and priests of the Catholic faith in the Pacific was exhibited in St. Mary's Hall. The missionary sisters of the Society of Mary work through the various islands in the Pacific, and also in Australia, and as well as photographs of their work and conditions, there were stalls featuring the handiwork of the different places.
