Sister Rose Whitty was an Irish Dominican nun who went to South Africa at the behest of Patrick Moran (bishop) who was the Catholic Bishop in Grahamstown, South Africa, in the 1860s. Later Moran became first Catholic Bishop of Dunedin, New Zealand. He invited the Irish Dominican sisters to set up in Dunedin. The sisters came from the same convent in Dublin as the party that had gone to South Africa a few years before. The party that came to NZ included the sister of Sister Rose Whitty. But Sister Rose Whitty laboured in South Africa and died there in 1911. Therefore I have taken her out of the category of New Zealand Roman Catholic nuns and included her in a category for South African Roman Catholic nuns. The reference in the article to New Zealand concerns her sister who came to New Zealand.Rick570 (talk) 07:51, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
