Sister Jane of the Immaculate Conception

I have an interesting story to share regarding Sr. Jane. When Sr. Jane arrived in Guam as a refugee from Vietnam, my brother, Fr. Bertin Samsa, a Capuchin friar, was an Army Chaplain serving in Guam at the time and in charge of organizing the religious program for the Catholic refugees.
My brother says that when he first met Sr. Jane on arrival in Guam, she was disorientated, alone, and not dressed in a Carmelite habit. Finally, on discovering that she was a Carmelite Nun, he immediately brought her to the Carmelite Monastery on Guam and arranged with the Governor of Guam the legalization of her stay with the Carmelites.
Being from Iron Mountain and Kingsford, MI, as a young seminarian, I used to bring produce from our garden to your first Monastery on the East Side of Iron Mountain. There, Sr. Mary Magdalena of the Cross come to know of me and when I found out she spent her life praying for me I began visiting her, now as a Capuchin priest, in your present Monastery just outside of Iron Mountain.
On day while my brother, Fr. Bertin and I were visiting Sr. Mary Magdalena of the Cross, my brother inquired about the Vietnam Sister among them. Sr. Jane then came to the visiting quarters and my brother asked her about her arrival on Guam. When Sr. Jane mentioned that upon her arrival, a priest immediately took her to the Carmelite Monastery on Guam and how grateful she was for that.
This was now 30 years later and when my brother told her, "He was that priest" tears of gratitude came to her eyes.
I thought this was an amazing story. I continued to visit Sr. Mary Magdalena of the Cross and Sr. Jane up until the death of Sr. Mary Magdalena. May they both now rest in the eternal embrace of their God and Creator.
