Our Mission Sister

Euphrasie Barbier

Euphrasie Barbier, was the foundress of the Mission Sisters who traveled to New Zealand. 
She was born in Caen in France in January 4th 1829.

She became a Religious Sister and was strong in faith and while continuing to follow the word of the Lord, she also reached out to help others.  Euphrasie Barbier had actions and decisions that were very risk.  Euphrasie was a determined woman who faced challenges with a positive attitude.

Euphrasie was most definitely a woman that who never gave up. The work she began all those years ago continues today through the women known as the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions.
