Faces of Hope: Sr. Christina-Maria, Germany

In the jubilee year, we are launching a special series: every month on the 1st, a mini-documentary about one of our sisters will be released.

Through their personal stories and diverse fields of work and apostolate, it becomes visible how the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary live out their mission today.

Whether in direct service to the Schoenstatt Movement, in pastoral ministry, in social or academic fields — each story is unique, and yet they all have one thing in common: like Mary, they want to make the message of God’s love tangible.

We hope you enjoy the faces, places, and experiences that bring a piece of our worldwide mission to life!


“And so do I want to be where God needs me.” – Sister Christina-Maria speaks about her faith, her vocation, and her life as a Schoenstatt Sister of Mary in the midst of everyday life.

In this inspiring video, Sister Christina-Maria, a Schoenstatt Sister of Mary, shares how she studies theology, lives her faith in daily life, and why the Blessed Mother Mary and the Covenant of Love have become a deep source of strength.

Between lectures, prayer, and encounters with students in Eichstätt, she experiences what it means to serve God in the midst of the world – completely ordinary, and yet completely different. She speaks openly about her daily life, her relationship with Mary, and how she has found Schoenstatt to be her spiritual home.
