After escaping Afghanistan, Sr. Theresa Crasta, a Maria Bambina nun, on Sept. 9 went to visit her family home at Bela, a village in Kerala on the border of Karnataka state in southwestern India. Her home is next to a farm developed by her father, who died in May. Crasta has now returned to her convent in Mangalore diocese to await reassignment. (Thomas Scaria)
