sent three missionary nuns to the Naha, Japan to handle pastoral care
ministry for Filipino migrants and their families.
Sister Rose Susan Montejo, superior general of the OND sisters sent
off Srs. Stella Marie LLerin, Teresita Caytor and Rochelle Caminse in
a ceremony held at Our Lady of Hope chapel at the OND Novitiate
grounds, in Tamontaka, Datu Odin Sinsuat, recently.
Montejo said the mission was accepted by the OND congregation
following the recommendation of Father Alfie Africa, moderator of the
Mission Society of the Philippines to Bishop Bernard Oshikawa, Order
of Friars Minor (OFM) of the Diocese of Naha, Japan.
She said the deployment of OND sisters in Japan was preceded by her
personal visit in the area where she saw the great pastoral need to
accompany the Filipino migrants who are living with the Okinawans.
She assured that the three missionary nuns underwent training in
Japanese language proficiency to enable them to integrate effectively
in the Japanese-Okinawan way of life.
