Sister John Berchmans Conway, Karachi Convent of Jesus and Mary principal and ex-principal Lahore CJM, is being conferred Sitara Quaid-e-Azam for her services towards education and promoting interfaith harmony in Pakistan.
President Asif Ali Zardari approved conferment of Sitara Quaid-e-Azam on her after it was recommended by Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad and was endorsed by Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani.
She has spent 59 years teaching young girls of all faiths from different parts of Pakistan. Under her able leadership, the institution has been providing quality education to Pakistani girls. “I still remember her smile when she welcomed me to CJM Lahore in 1992. That smile has lighted up many lives all these years,” said an ex-Conventarian.
“Sister Conway has touched the lives of countless Pakistani schoolgirls as a mentor, counsellor, friend and teacher. Her constant adherence to the call of duty has made her a living example to emulate,” the citation forwarded to the president for conferment of Sitara Quaid-e-Azam read.
