The Moana Community of Saint Clare, an indigenous women’s religious order on the Polynesian Island of Fiji, celebrated five years of ministry and welcomed their first novice this week. Miliva Tokariki, 22, will help at Saint Christopher’s Home, an orphanage run by the community in Nasinu, near Suva, the Fijian capital.
Through the deep, ongoing commitment to communication among the early Christians, even those whom Paul and others had yet to meet, Christians knew of each other’s lives and prayed for each other’s needs.
