January 31, 1956
Dear Mother Provincial,
At a meeting of the General Council on January 26, 1956, it was unanimously decided that we should ask for volunteers for the proposed mission to Japan. Those who volunteer should have made final vows by September, 1956, and should not have reached their thirty-sixth birthday. They should be told that, unless an exceptional situation arises, they will be expected to remain in Japan from eight to ten years before returning for a home visit.
Will you please make these things known to them when you send copies of the enclosed form [application request] to each of your houses. Please ask the Sisters who wish to complete the form to have it in your hands by March 15, 1956.
Please do not make your final decision of the Sister for the assignment this year until we return from our visit to Japan. At that time we can tell you something of the health, education, character, and personality needs, etc., which those who are experienced in the field may recommend. Then you may be able to make a better choice.
That God may bless you and our Province is my most earnest prayer.
Very sincerely yours in the Sacred Heart,
Mother Eucharista Galvin
Superior General
