Land of Wilderness and Mystery

By: Sr. Vivian, SSpS

The following pages are taken from the letters Sister Vivian wrote to her family and Religious Community. From the time Sister Vivian left Techny to her return years later. Special thanks to her sister Ann for saving all of these letters. May you re-live the experiences Sister Vivian encountered and occasionally whisper a prayer for the community in which she served.

About the Author

I wish to dedicate these pages to my Religious Community for allowing me to go to New Guinea: for their love and prayerful support and to the Most Rev. Leo Arkfeld, S.V.D. who has given fifty years of his life as Bishop of Wewak.

Last of all, to my loyal friends whose bond of friendship remains unbroken: Rev. Paschal Sweeney, C.P. (later first bishop of Vanimo); Fathers Gregory Kirby, C.P. and Anselm Turner C.P.; Marie Mole, Kath Sherry, Kathy Moore and Meg Duncan.
