“In response to the request of Monsignor Augustin Forcade, Prefect Apostolic of Hong Kong as well as Bishop of Samos and Vicar Apostolic of Japan, four Sisters of St Paul de Chartres - Sr Alphonsine (Monsignor's own sister), Sr Auguste Gallois, Sr Gabrielle Joubin, and Sr Louise Morse, arrived in Hong Kong on September 12, 1848, after a perilous four months'journey by sea from France aboard the British ship Sappho. Like a seed that would one day grow into a big tree, Sr Alphonsine, the first Superior, and Sr Gabrielle, still both in their 30s, would give their lives for this far-off mission within two years of their arrival.”
