Our Sister Angelina celebrated a very round birthday!

Congratulations, Sr. Angelina

Celebrating the birthday with her fellow Sisters

A great birthday!

On 11 September, our Sr Angelina Diekgerdes celebrated her 90th birthday at "Villa Assumpta" in Pietermaritzburg (South Africa). Nine decades ago, the jubilarian was born in Holthausen/Oldenburg in the federal state of Lower Saxony in Germany.

On 18 April 1955, she entered our Congregation at the "St. Josef Mission House" in Neustadt am Main. On 3 May 1957 Sr Angelina made her First Profession and only a quarter of a year later - on 21 August 1957 - she started her mission in South Africa. For most of her life she worked as a nurse in Marymount (Johannesburg), Marifont (Pretoria) and then for 35 years in Boystown, Magaliesburg. She also spent her active retirement there until she moved to our retirement home in Pietermaritzburg in 2021.

We warmly congratulate Sr Angelina on her 90th birthday and wish her good health.
