Prior to watching the documentary, I knew very little about the four missionary women who traveled to El Salvador. S. Ita Ford, S. Maura Clarke, S. Dorothy Kazel and Jean Donovan were so committed to their mission in El Salvador and fulfilled it with such bravery. One part of the documentary that really struck me was when Jean was in Ireland. She knew that when she returned to El Salvador, she would be killed, but she returned anyway. Even though I do not really understand this decision, I admire her for it. I don't think that I would be able to do what these four women did. They believed so strongly in a cause that they put themselves in a situation where they knew that they would most likely be killed.
In addition, I do agree with the opinion of the writer who thought that every Catholic should be familiar with the stories of S. Ita Ford, S. Maura Clarke, S. Dorothy Kazel and Jean Donovan. I believe that the writer thought this was important because the story shows how four brave women with husbands, friends, and family can leave everything behind to practice what they believe in and serve their mission with courage.
