Celina, the superior general having imbibed the spirit and zeal of the Foundresses, found ways and means of carrying the missionary flame to the distant Indian land. To this end, she chose prepared and sent a band of 8 brave and generous Ursulines as Pioneers accompanied by the junior directresses Sr. Dolores.
