2. St Martha moved to the edge of town where she operated a small inn. When a Catholic from Yoajiaguan came to catechize the people of Qingyian, St Martha became intrigued by the message of Jesus and she became converted to the Catholic Faith on Christmas Day 1852.

3. Desiring a greater access to Mass and other Christians, St Martha moved to Guiyang where she worked as a cook in a Catholic hostel for young women.

When Bishop Hu opened a seminary for the training of priests at Yaojiaguan, he hired St Martha as a cook and cleaning lady.
