Mabel Grace Geary was a pioneer and Knight of Bahá’u’lláh named for pioneering to Cape Breton Island. While attending the first All-American International Teaching Conference in Chicago in 1953 the stirring message of the Guardian inspired Grace to offer to pioneer at the beginning of the Ten Year Spiritual Crusade. The difficult years spent in Cape Brenton Island were surmounted by her unwavering faith and characteristic courage. Her volunteer services as librarian at the public library in Baddeck afforded her excellent opportunities to spread the Glad Tidings of Bahá’u’lláh. Always ready to meet a need in the Cause, she returned to Charlottetown in 1961 to help complete the Spiritual Assembly there.
