The Community of the Sisters of Melanesia , more usually called The Sisters of Melanesia, is the third order for women to be established in the Church of Melanesia , which is the Anglican Church of Solomon Islands and Vanuatu . The first women s order was the defunct Sisters of the Holy Cross , whose members transferred to the Roman Catholic Church in 1950. In the late 1960s, the then bishop of the Diocese of Melanesia hoped to establish a group of women Franciscan s in Honiara . They could not come, but the Community of the Sisters of the Church came and prospered. A little more than a decade later, one woman named Nesta Tiboe felt that there was room for a community of sisters working in the Solomon Islands which followed the ideals and structures of the Melanesian Brotherhood . This turned out to be the Sisters of Melanesia. There are about 110 sisters and over 50 novices at Verana aso , Maravovo , Western Guadalcanal . The Head Sister is Sister Catherine Rosa . Besides Verana aso, they have households in Honiara, CDC, Auki and South Malaita . The novice s wear a blue dress and upon admittance into the Sisterhood change into a green dress with a white veil with a green trim. The sisters wear a heart shaped medal around their necks.
