A visit to the Sisters of Compassion

16 Aug 2024

Thirty-five members of Wellington Combined Probus Club had an enjoyable visit to the Sisters of Compassion in Island Bay.

For more than a century the sisters have taught, nursed, and provided homes for children, the sick and the elderly in New Zealand and the South Pacific.

The Clubs visit started in the chapel where Suzanne Aubert had been laid to rest. Sister Josephine spoke about her life’s work and how almost a century later, her spirit lives on through the Sisters of Compassion.

From there, Members spent time in the two museums and also the excellent café onsite.
