About Us

We Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ trace our roots to Dernbach, Germany where our foundress, Katherina Kasper was born in 1820. On August 15, 1848, Catherine moved into her first "little house" with four companions from the little German village. The house became a center from which the sick of Dernbach were nursed and it also served as a home for a widow and eight orphans. On August 15, 1851, Catherine and her four companions pronounced their vows as Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ.

Our congregation grew rapidly. Within the first few years, Poor Handmaids began serving throughout Germany, also beginning "little houses" in the Netherlands and England. The spirit of the congregation's mission to serve the poor and powerless spread to the Sisters' companions and co-workers
