In Loving Memory of Sister Miriam Estelle DA LUZ

6 April 1930 – 16 August 2023

It is with great sorrow and a heavy heart to receive the news that our former Principal of St. Paul’s Convent School primary section, Sister Miriam Estelle DA LUZ returned to God on Wednesday, 16 August 2023 peacefully at the age of 93 years.

Sr. Miriam entered the convent in 1949 at the age of 19 and started her religious journey. In 1960 she was sent to study Education in St. Paul’s College, Bloxwich, England. She returned to Hong Kong in 1966.

Recognizing her deep faith and spirituality, upon her return to Hong Kong, Sr. Miriam was entrusted with the very important task of the formation of young Sisters. In 1966, she was appointed Novice Mistress at Our Lady of China Novitiate in Sheung Shui until 1976.

In 1977 she served as the Principal of St. Paul’s Convent School primary section until 1983. Sr. Miriam’s work was deeply concerned with moral education which reflected her values and vision in education. She was kind, passionate, benevolent, amiable and showed great affection to students in the school. She will be fondly remembered for her dedication and ardent support to students and contributions to St. Paul’s Convent School.

After years of fruitful and remarkable service in Hong Kong in the field of education, she left Hong Kong in 1984 for Sydney, Australia, where she continued her mission of reaching out to those who were in need in whatever way she could. She was also the pioneer Principal of the Aurora College in Moss Vale (the present St. Paul’s International College).

May she rest in peace.
