Sister M. Leonilla Schampera<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Born: July 2, 1940
Entrance: July 25, 1959
Professed: May 3, 1962
Died: January 9, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 9, 2025, the Lord called to Himself our dear Sister M. Leonilla, n\u00e9e Barbara Schampera, Hospital Sister of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.<\/em><\/p>\nIsaiah 30:15a<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Sister M. Leonilla was born on July 2, 1940, in Krmpa near Dschowitz (OS). She entered our Congregation on July 25, 1959. She made her first Profession on May 3, 1962.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early years of her religious life, Sister M. Leonilla worked as a kindergarten teacher in the nursery in Piechowice (Petersdorf near Hirschberg). After that, she performed administrative tasks in our social institutions. From 1997 to 2015, she worked at the Bishops’ House in Opole. The bishops, for whom she cared with devotion, thanked Sister Leonilla “for her dedicated work, which was characterized by warmth and kindness<\/em>.\u201d During the 18 years of her service, Sister Leonilla \u201ccarried out all the work with great dedication, combining the evangelical attitudes of Martha and Mary. Her prayer and service had a diocesan dimension, as she helped Bishop Johannes Baginski fulfill his pastoral duties in the Church of Opole\u201d<\/em>, remarked Bishop Andrzej Czaja in 2015 at the end of the Sisters’ service in the bishop’s house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From these years of her faithful service to God, we remember Sister Leonilla as caring and committed to the people she served; discreet, quiet and always full of humor. Since she belonged to the bishop’s house, she also had the special opportunity to be well informed about the affairs of the church and the world, and she often gladly shared this information. She was also happy to maintain contact with her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August 2015, she moved to the Sisters’ convent in Glatz-Scheibe. This is where her memory problems began, which she accepted humbly and gently. She also tolerated other age-related ailments, which somewhat impeded her communication in the community, especially in recent years, with serenity. In February 2024, she settled in the monastery in Dobrzen Wielki. After breaking her hip, she received comprehensive medical and rehabilitative care, and further care in our nursing and treatment facility in Oppeln-Stephansh\u00f6h. After a severe circulatory and respiratory failure, she was taken to the hospital, where the Lord invited her into His kingdom on Thursday, January 9, around noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are grateful to Sister Leonilla for her life and her testimony of kindness and devotion to people. She herself also thanks her fellow Sisters who accompanied her in the last years of her life, both in the convents in Scheibe and in Gro\u00df D\u00f6bern and Stephansh\u00f6h. We remember her in our prayers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
