Order of the Good Shepherd
Abbotsford


Sister Mary of the Compassion

It is with regret that the Melbourne Advocate announces the death of a Religious of the Order of the Good Shepherd, which took place at the convent, Abbotsford. 
The deceased lady (in religion Sister Mary of the Compassion) was a daughter of Mr. James Armstrong, of Drom, Co. Tipperary, Ireland, and arrived about two years ago in company with her sister, both having come out for the purpose of joining the Order of the Good Shepherd, Victoria. Immediately on her arrival she, with her sister, proceeded to Abbotsford, and was at the time of her death in the second year of her novitiate. In April last the young lady developed symptoms of consumption. On the day of the funeral immediately after Mass the coffin was borne from the church, headed by a procession of the nuns reciting the last prayers for the deceased Sister. The pall was borne by six of the nuns, among whom was the sister of the deceased. The body, having been placed in the hearse, was taken to the Kew Cemetery. The deceased was interred in the enclosure set apart for the nuns of the Good Shepherd.
