Our sisters from Schefferville, Martha Groffen and Lieve Bosmans leave the Canadian Great North… Some months afterwards, they recall their experience...
In the valleys, protected from the harsh northern wind, grow larch trees and birches. During the month of October it is as if all the sunlight is condensed in those deciduous trees and they glow from afar between the dark green of the black spruces and are a delight to see. During this month dedicated to mission, we recall the time of our involvement among the native peoples of the tundra, living along the endless horizons and the white remote spaces. Three of us, Sr. Martha, Sr. Lieve and Sr. Alberta, were there to spread the Good News and to strengthen the faith of those people who would have only occasional contact with a priest once a year.
