Twin Maryknoll Sisters meet twins Ann and Agnes Shigo as the returned missionaries conduct an assembly program at a parochial. School. Sister Regina Rosaire and Sister Rosaire Marie -- born Mary and Marie Gray of Meadville, Pa. -- have returned from nine years of mission service in the steaming jungles of Bolivia. The twins, following the Maryknoll pattern, are now studying at college, pending reassignment to missionary work. While in Bolivia, they taught at neighboring missions.

Maryknoll’s only twins hope to return to Bolivia where, they say, Communists have cells in practically every village. They say that presence of the Peace Corps has been helpful in spreading democratic ideals. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (M-NY-1C-64-W)

Title: Chaplain to refugees.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-29907 CHAPLAIN TO REFUGEES MACAO -- Refugees from Communist China can count on Spanish-born Father Luis Ruiz, S.J., to help them when they arrive in the Portuguese enclave of Macao. Known as “The chaplain to the refugees,” the Jesuit maintains a villa called Casa Ricci where his door is always open to those in need. He talks here with an old Chinese woman who came to him for funds to start a fruit business. Called “Lui Sam Fu” by the refugees, Father Ruiz was a missionary in China before the Reds took over. Since 1951 he has aided thousands of refugees from behind the “Bamboo Curtain.” Last year 10,801 persons registered at Casa Ricci. The exodus to Macao will continue, Father Ruiz says, “as long as people do not find more food and liberty in Red China.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (U-NY-9C-63-RB)

Title: Cardinal visits Swahili school.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-29788 CARDINAL VISITS SWAHILI SCHOOL MARYKNOLL, N.Y. -- Laurian Cardinal Rugambwa, Bishop of Bukoba, Tanganyika, talks with Swahili instructors at the Maryknoll Motherhouse during his recent visit to the U.S. More emphasis is being placed by the missionary order on Swahili because of the Tanganyikan government’s decision to unify that East African country through a common language. This summer Maryknoll priests and nuns are being taught the language under the direction of Father George F. Pfister, M.M. (right), director of the order’s Swahili School. Also shown chatting with Cardinal Rugambwa, the first Negro Prince of the Church, are two African teachers on Father Pfister’s staff. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (M-NY-8E-63-RB)
