A Celebration of Faith – Jubilee 2025
On May 1st, 2025, we had the joy of celebrating a very special occasion: the religious jubilees of our sisters who have faithfully walked the path of consecrated life for 25, 50, 60, and even 65 years. It was a day filled with joy, gratitude, and vibrant community.
Our Jubilarians:
65-Year Jubilee: Sr. Raphaele Wingerter
60-Year Jubilee: Sr. Veronika Wauch, Sr. Liberata Ricker, Sr. Marina Becker
50-Year Jubilee: Sr. Angelika Hufgard
25-Year Jubilee: Sr. Yessica Amaro Caceres
We gathered for a vibrant celebration of faith, with Domkapitular Forster presiding on behalf of the Diocese of Mainz. Many clergy, representatives of other religious communities, and numerous companions along the journey joined the jubilarians in this festive occasion.
A heartfelt letter from our Bishop expressed his appreciation and gratitude for the sisters’ years of faithful service. The celebration was enriched with music and greetings from around the world – from Peru, the USA, Korea, and Rome – giving us a strong sense of our global church and religious community.
The Eucharist became a powerful moment of thanksgiving for the shared journey of faith. In the many encounters and the exchange of experiences, it became clear: the road was not always easy – it had its ups and downs – but it was guided by trust, deep spiritual conviction, and a firm faith:
“I am loved by God – unconditionally.”
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
“With my God, I leap over walls.”
“I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”
A festive meal and a glass of fine Rhine wine gave this special day a warm and joyful ending.
We thank our jubilarians for their witness, dedication, and lifelong service – and we wish them continued blessings on their journey!
