‘My kind of town, Chicago is!’ Loretto novices take the Windy City!

Posted on November 11, 2024, by Loretto Community

Four warmly dressed women of color pose for a night photo on the edge of a lake. Illuminated city buildings can be seen in the background, on the other side of the lake.

This week on Loretto’s Facebook page we will show you how “working together, tiny stars light the universe.” (Unknown)

See how the stars have aligned for three of our Pakistani women as we highlight Maribah Ishaq SL, Saima Kiran and Shaista Alyas’s activities and work in Chicago: Maribah and her graduate program at Catholic Theological Union (CTU); and Shaista and Saima at Intercongregational Collaborative Novitiate (ICCN) and their novitiate experiences.

Six women are sitting next to each other on a bus and are clearly enjoying each others' company, and the bus ride!
The six ICCN novices using the efficient Chicago bus system, and having a good time as smiles show.

We hope you will enjoy the photos of their lives in Chicago and the broad smiles everywhere. We sure did! A picture truly says a thousand words.
