In Memoriam sister Renate
A commemorative mass was held on Wednesday in memory of Sister Renate from Mallersdorf in the chapel of the former St. Joseph Hospital, the current headquarters of the Catholic Caritas Association. The ceremony was led by Canon Jozsef Rajna, Director General of Caritas, concelebrated by Martin Römer, an Austrian priest serving in Mexico, and Peter Zidar, a permanent deacon. Sister Renate, known not only in Oradea, but throughout Transylvania for her work with children and people with disabilities, returned her soul to her creator on September 17.
In Loving Memory of Mrs. Irmgard Rösch
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of a remarkable individual yesterday. Mrs. Irmgard Rösch, a cherished friend and one of Caritas's longest-standing and most dedicated supporters, passed away on July 15th at the age of 90. Her multifaceted social work and tireless dedication to charitable causes have left an indelible mark on many lives.
