Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the October 8th earthquake in Pakistan and India. Our Sisters who work in Faisalabad and Karachi, Pakistan, were not injured. But, sadly, a number of our friends and co-workers lost family members in the disaster.
A surgeon and resident from Holy Family Hospital in Karachi have gone to help in the relief efforts.

The award is given to a member surgeon who exemplifies the ideals and missions of the AWS. Sister Pat lives and works with Navajo people at Fort Defiance, Arizona. The AWS recognizes her as "a tireless humanitarian advocate, and an outstanding representative of women in surgery."

Sister Luz Marina grew up with 9 brothers and sisters, and was active in her barrio in Maracaibo before she joined our Community. "Mission for me means the struggle that Jesus carried out and now we want to follow - being with people who are in need," she says.

Sister Teresita Hinnegan was honored as one of the founders of the Maternity Care Coalition (MCC) of Philadelphia at MCC's 25th anniversary celebration. "Sister Teresita prepared the first study of infant mortality in Philadelphia - which served as the foundation for improving maternity services throughout the region," the MCC anniversary program said. "Her socio-economic studies helped produce one of the best models in the nation for a community-based maternity center."
