Icon of person Maria Katharina Kasper

Maria Katharina Kasper (26 May 1820 – 2 February 1898) – born Katharina but in religion known as Schwester / sister Maria – was a German Roman Catholic religious sister and the founder of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ. Kasper entered the religious life later in her life despite having harbored a desire to become a religious sister for a very long time. It did not materialize earlier due to aggravating circumstances such as the deaths of both her father and her brother, and Kaspers' poor economic status. Moreover, due to the secularization under Napoleon, no female religious orders existed in her region. Read more on Wikipedia
