On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at 2:45 p.m., our beloved God called to himself our dear Sister M. Viventia, born by the name of Genowefa Herman, Hospital Sister of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The joy of the Lord is our strength<\/em>.<\/p>\nNeh.8:10<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Sister M. Viventia was born in Katowice\/Chebzie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her postulancy, Sister M. Viventia worked as a nursing assistant in the surgical ward of St. Adalbert Hospital in Opole. She studied at a nursing school in Krakow and obtained her nursing diploma in 1964. She then worked as a highly competent nurse at the Children’s Clinic for Infectious Diseases in Wroclaw until September 1989. During this time, she was provincial councillor for six years and Superior of the local convent for twelve years. For another seven years, she worked in housekeeping and as matron at the bishop’s residence in Opole. From 1996, she lived in the provincial house, where she took on various household tasks and helped in the infirmary. In 2017, she was transferred to the nursing home in Opole-Stephansh\u00f6h because she needed treatment and rehabilitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sister M. Viventia distinguished herself in her service as a nurse and by her superior kindness, goodwill, hospitality, gentleness toward all, and a great sense of humour. She had a generous and kind heart for the poor and needy who knocked on the doors of our convents. She showed great openness toward those who visited our provincial house, offering them a kind word, time, and friendliness. Many who came unexpectedly felt welcome and cared for by Sister M. Viventia, who received them at the gate. She was very conscientious in her duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From an early age, she had a special love for St. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of the Child Jesus. She claimed to be as stubborn as little Teresa herself. Sister M. Viventia was as persistent on the path to holiness as Saint Teresa and, like her, had a gentle and boundless love for Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She cultivated relationships with her family, showed them love and kindness, and surrounded them with prayer and gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her last years, her physical strength declined more and more, which she accepted with resignation to God’s will, and on July 16, in the 71st year of her religious life, she slept peacefully under the protection of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and entered the Kingdom of Heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is grateful to her fellow sisters for all the kindness and service they have shown her, especially to the sisters in Opole Szczepanowice. We continue to commend herself to our prayers and trust that she will support us from heaven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
