Hospital Sisters of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis

Sister M. Modesta Drees

✝ Saturday, May 21st 2016


For you are my rock and my fortress;
for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
Psalm 31:4

Sister M. Modesta was born on September 26, 1931 in Neuenbrunnen near Löningen, Oldenburg. She entered our Congregation on September 16, 1952 and made her first profession of vows on May 3, 1955.

Tirelessly, she committed herself for the patients entrusted to her. She was available to listen to the needs, concerns and worries of the employees.

Relying on God’s infinite love and in the hope of fulfilment in God’s glory, our dear Sister passed away on May 21, 2016 in St. Francis Hospital, Münster.

With love and gratitude, we say farewell to Sister M. Modesta and in prayer commend her to the presence and benevolence of God.
