21. PIONEERS
In 1903 Father Neyens and Father Geurtjens MSC
arrived. At its beginning, our Congregation had too
few members to answer Prefect Neyens’ request for
sisters for Moluccan mission. Consequently, the
Franciscan Sisters of Heythuizen were asked. But
there arose defficulties between sisters and the
Prefect, Father Neyens. For that reason, he and his
successor, Father Nollen, kept insisting that tha
FDNSC should come to Kai to replace the
Franciscans.

HISTORY OF FDNSC INDONESIA
IV. PROVINCE OF FDNSC INDONESIA
In 1990, FDNSC in Indonesia and FDNSC Netherland
had idea to combine Java Province, Mollucass
Region, and Papua Region became Indonesian
Province. We called this unification. Since that time,
we made several meetings, discussions, and asked
opinions from all FDNSC in Indonesia to prepare this.
Fr. Rubertus Hardawiryana, SJ facilitated this
process. So, on July 13, 1995, when we celebrated 75
years FDNSC in Mollucass, Province of FDNSC
Indonesia that consists Mollucass Area, Java Area,
and Papua Area, was established.
In 2008 and 2009, We received a new ministry area in
Borneo. We have two communities in this area such
as Asam-Asam and Ventimiglia
