Faithful to The Spirit
Blessed Maria Helena Stollenwerk, 1852-1900

By: Anselm Gruen, OSB

Faithful to The Spirit is a biography of Blessed Maria Helena Stollenwerk, the co-founder of the international community of Holy Spirit Missionary Sisters.

The life of Blessed Maria Helena was one of great struggle, ongoing discernment, mission commitment, and blessing. "Fidelity to the Spirit and to the word of God spoken within her, ultimately led her to the goal of her desires, although in the end it turned out rather differently from what she had imagined and so much desired."

- Sr. Agada Brand, SSpS, Superior General
