It seems to me what you should be thinking is not how to close the future with definitions which you will henceforth live out, but how to keep the future completely open so that you will be able to liberate yourself and one another in an open community with the help of the Holy Spirit and with the help of your love for one another.

Loretto Mission in Pakistan

Loretto will have a mission in Pakistan.  This exciting venture will be founded by Loretto Sister Nasreen and Loretto novices Samina, Maria, and Iffat. In November Loretto’s president and the newly elected president traveled to Pakistan to make contacts and see what needs would form Loretto's mission.  

In the words of Loretto President Cathy Mueller, “Nasreen,  PakistanSamina,  Iffat, Maria, Mary Catherine and I processed some of our experiences and responses. We are trying to be realistic about what Loretto could do — or not do — in response to the great needs we saw.  Even as we dream we are wanting to be realistic about what is possible — for a new community in Pakistan and for our members who will be forming community.”
