Saima and Shaista had especially wanted to profess their vows during October, a month dedicated to Mary, whose loving presence and guidance have long been central to their faith. Their profession marked not only a deepening of their commitment to God and Loretto, but also the continuation of a vocational journey that began through their teaching and ministry in Pakistan. Their move to the United States required crossing borders of geography, language and culture, a journey made possible through faith, perseverance and the support of the Loretto Community.
