Yesterday, September 24, 2025, we joyfully marked the 140th Foundation Anniversary of the Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing. The Community had a Eucharistic Celebration presided over by Abbot Primate Jeremias Schröder, OSB. Followed by a festive common breakfast. In the afternoon at 2:00, the whole Congregation had a synchronized prayer and the launch of the Togo Community.
With the theme “Rekindling the Gift of God as Pilgrims of Hope,” we remembered with gratitude the vision of our founder, Fr. Andreas Amrhein, OSB, and the faith of our pioneering Sisters who set out on mission in 1885. Their courage continues to inspire us today as we walk together in prayer, community, and service.
To rekindle the gift of God is to let His Spirit renew our hearts; to be pilgrims of hope is to walk with trust and joy into the future. As we celebrate this milestone, we commit ourselves anew to living our Benedictine missionary vocation — rooted in Christ, united in community, and sent in service of the Gospel.
The celebration concluded in the evening with a Community recreation followed by Compline.
