Welcome to the inspiring world of the Handmaids of Jesus in the Eucharist, where the spirit of Christ’s teachings is brought to life in the most disadvantaged areas. In 2015, a significant shift occurred in Germany, prompting the Handmaids to expand their mission and help refugees in need.
As fear and alienation spread across Germany, the Handmaids recognized the urgency to extend their charism and support refugees facing numerous challenges. These individuals grapple with uncertainty, rejection, trauma, language barriers, and more, all of which can easily shatter their self-confidence.
One such beacon of hope for refugees is Sister Sandra, a compassionate soul who offers guidance and support to those in despair. Her deep understanding and unwavering faith provide solace to those facing deportation and uncertain futures.
With a heart full of empathy and a spirit of hope, Sister Sandra walks alongside refugees, empowering them to navigate their fears and uncertainties. She embodies the legacy of Bishop Georg Matulaitis, founder of the Handmaids, who dedicated his life to helping those in need, regardless of their background.
The Handmaids’ commitment to aiding refugees is a testament to the Church’s mission to reach the marginalized and spread the light of faith. In a world plagued by violence and hatred, Sister Sandra’s work stands as a beacon of peace and reconciliation.
Through their counseling center, housed in the Caritas Association in the Hof District, the Handmaids provide vital support to those in need. However, with government austerity measures threatening social welfare programs, the future of such centers hangs in the balance.
Yet, amidst uncertainty, one truth remains steadfast – the future is in God’s hands. As Handmaids of Jesus in the Eucharist, their work is a testament to the transformative power of faith and compassion, igniting hope in the darkest of times.
