While in Turin at the International Exhibition of Chinese Culture, Francis Fogolla met with the founder of the Franciscan Missionary Mary congregation Elena Maria de Chappoten , who invited him to send several nuns to China. As a result of their meeting, a small group of priests and nuns went to the mission, among whom was St. Mary of St. Justin.
