ДЕНЬ НАРОДЖЕННЯ БЛАЖЕННОЇ МУЧЕНИЦІ СЕСТРИ ЛАВРЕНТІЇ ГЕРАСИМІВ – (115 РОКІВ ТОМУ).

The Eparchy of Wrocław-Koszalin marks the 115th anniversary of the birth of Blessed Martyr Sister Laurentia Herasymiv, who was born on September 30, 1911, in the village of Rudnyky in the Lviv region.

Sister Laurentia joined the Sisters of the Congregation of St. Joseph in 1931 and made her first vows in 1933. In 1950, NKVD soldiers arrested her and moved her from Boryslav to Tomsk. Following an assignment to the village of Khardsk in the Tomsk region on June 30, 1950, she lived in a partitioned room with a paralyzed homeowner because others would not house her due to her tuberculosis. She spent her time in prayer and manual labor before dying on August 28, 1952, in Khardsk.
