PELLETTER HALL VISIT
L
Saturday, September 16, 1972
Mrs. G.T. Rowe, wife of the Director of
Social Welfare, will visit Pelletier Hall, in Clear Water Bay Road, on Monday (September 18) at about
11 a.. She will be accompanied by Mrs. Evelyn Doe,
Principal Social Welfare Officer. The Hall is run by the Good Shepherd Sisters, who belong to a world- wide organisation founded in 1835 by Rose Virginia Pelletier. The work of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd is primarily the re-education and character formation of girls with maladjusted personalities or
who are anti-social. The Sisters first came to Hong
Kong in October 1951. In 1952, they provided residential care for girls in 11 Nissen huts at Hung
Hom. Pelletier Hall was built in 1955 with the help of a government grant and an interest-free loan.
