Sister M. Magna Rechtien was born on December 28, 1921 in Molbergen. She entered our Congregation on February 9, 1942 and made her first profession of vows on July 26, 1945.

Sister M. Magna used her skills in various areas of our Congregation. She served in the nursing care, as well as in the laboratory and in the pharmacy.

In the early morning hours of January 22, 2017, after a fulfilled life, replete with love and goodness, our heavenly Father called our dear Sister to His eternal home. May for her come true, in what she always put her trust: to find her last perfection and her eternal home in heaven.
