Successful Christmas Bazaar 2025

Hospital Sisters of St. Francis and “Wolltäterinnen” (“Wool Workers”) hand over donation

Muenster, January 7, 2026. From November 21-23, 2025, the traditional charity Christmas bazaar took place once again in the foyer of St. Francis Hospital in Muenster—a joint project of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis and the creative group of employees at St. Francis Hospital, the “Wool Workers.” With popular classics such as hand-knitted socks, warm hats and scarves as well as Christmas decorations, the craftswomen raised a total of €7,600. In December, they donated the money to the “Babylotsen” (“Baby guides”) program based at St. Franziskus Hospital which helps babies and young families, and to the hospital’s pediatric clinic.

“Baby guide” Hjördis Bayer as well as Dr. Meike Franssen, head physician of the Clinic for Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, and Dr. David Lewers, Commercial Director of the hospital, expressed their gratitude to the organizers of the bazaar. “We are very pleased about this wonderful donation, which will help us to support children, their mothers, and their families in difficult situations and to have a positive influence on their lives even after their stay in the hospital”, Dr. Lewers said.

More information on the Sisters who contribute to the bazaar can be found in last year’s report.
