Happy 65th Jubilee to Loretto Sister Anndavid Naeger SL!
Sister Anndavid shares the following reflection, “How could I have ever imagined a life of prayer, silence, rules and service which was offered by the Sisters of Loretto? A life (in my beginning days) in a special dress (habit), a rural location, a unique code of conduct, a very different living situation and a constant effort to live a life built on three lifelong commitments of vows of poverty, chastity and obedience?
“When I was missioned to El Paso, where I spent most of my life teaching in four of our five schools: Guardian Angel, Sacred Heart, St. Patrick and Loretto Academy High School, I was introduced to the desert climate, different food, a new culture and language. Living in a very large Community (100+) of Sisters of Loretto was a learning experience, as I adapted to so many different personalities, talents, mannerisms, etc. I cherish all my days as a Sister of Loretto as I continue to be faithful to my vows and Community. I have known some truly remarkable women religious, have been accepted, loved and forgiven by them. They have helped me realize that all my days have been pure gift.”
