The Solomons are an island nation with approximately 1,000 islands. They are in a long thin chain stretching about 1,000Km in a NW-SE direction.
Many of these islands are populated. There are differences in language and culture between the people of the various islands. Indeed, on many islands there can be a number of different languages on the island. This came about hundreds or even thousands of years ago when headhunting was rife and communities kept to themselves.
Following the liturgical calendar of the church, we have reached the end of the Easter season that has its summit now in the solemn Feast of the Pentecost: the time when our lord Jesus Christ sent the Holy spirit over the Apostles and the church.
Sister Jeanear, a nun among two Malaitan Girls who professed into the Charity Sisters congregation of St. Vincent de Paul society, decided to commit her life fully for the congregation to follow Jesus Christ in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul.
