ONE APOSTOLIC BODY: Rejoicing in our Mission in Pakistan

The young woman in the photo is Suneeta Saleem. She is a Junior RJM and has recently passed, with honors, her studies for Masters in Finance. She was selected to represent her college, The University of Lahore, at a Research Symposium held in a University in Islamabad. Suneeta is from a family living in a Basti in Shadbagh, one of the most underdeveloped areas of Lahore. She is a graduate of the school we opened there in the early 90’s.

Once I was asked if I felt I had achieved anything worthwhile during my many years spent in Pakistan.

Meetings with RJMs from Haiti

Our four sisters from Haiti and the Leadership Team spent an enjoyable and fruitful four days together last week. From May 3 to 6, in exchanges and discussions facilitated by Ms. Marisa Guerin, our missionaries shared information and concerns about their situations and projects in Gros Morne and Jean Rabel.

Together we studied our ministries in light of the values that can promote systemic change.

This study is a ‘work in progress,’ but we hope that these values can guide future planning for ministry in Haiti.
