When they arrived in Masan, they settled into their small house and moved among the people to see what needs they could meet. Within a short time, people joined the Adorers for prayer in their convent home. To meet their living expenses the Sisters taught English at a military hospital, held religious education classes, and taught in an alternative education program for young factory workers who had no other means of education. Soon the group was joined by Sister Hae Sook Columba Sim.In 1978 American Adorer Mary Schoenecker joined the group and worked on projects for the welfare of women immigrant workers until she returned to the United States in 1999. In October of 1978 the group moved into larger quarters, making their small convent available as a home for eighteen girls who worked in the nearby factories.
