Mother Agatha ROSS, OSB, who had been a Superior of Swakopmund since 1922 was appointed to be the First Prioress of the newly erected Priory of Windhoek on 26 June 1926. Her second year as Prioress, the Tutzing Sisters started their first mission in the so called ‘Ovamboland’ of Namibia specifically in Oshikuku in 1927. A year before she ended her term, other two communities were also founded at Bunya in Kavango and at Anamulenge in Ovamboland both in 1932.

Mother Agatha ROSS, OSB was born on 10 May 1875 at Neckar – Steinach in the Diocese of Mainz, Germany. She came to Namibia on 15 November 1921 and worked for a year in Klein Windhoek community before she was assigned in Swakopmund from 1922 until her appointment as Prioress in 1926.

She cared for the Sisters with great love and prudence specifically during the misery of the Second World War.

Having served in Kavango, she understood the need of God for the Kavango people. Thus, she did not hesitate to send new missionaries to the Stations that needed Sisters, particularly, to Tondoro in 1934 and to Shambyu in 1937.

Before she ended her office as Prioress, she suffered from diabetes and community life became hard for her. She ended her term in 1944 and remained in the Priory House community in Windhoek for the rest of her years.

She was a German Sister, born on 24 February1902, at lmmenstadt, diocese of Augsburg.

She entered the Congregation in 1923 and received her international mission assignment on the day of her First Profession on 15 August 1925 for South Africa, where she devoted her energy to teaching the young Zulu people at Inkamana, Entabeni, and Eshowe Communities.

In 1968, Mother Cherubina was appointed the 8^th Prioress of Windhoek Priory. There was much to think and decide especially on what to do with some communities; already in 1969, two communities (Klein Windhoek and Grosse Werft – Pioniespark had to be closed. As a Prioress, she had often to travel to different mission-stations of the priory, including the Mission Station of Cuchi in Angola, where the sisters needed much assistance especially when civil war broke out in Angola. In 1972, she helped in opening a second community of Windhoek Priory in Angola called Serpa Pinto. Unfortunately, the two communities in Angola, Cuchi and Serpa Pinto, had to be closed down in 1975 due to the civil war.

She served as Junior Mistress in the Motherhouse, Tutzing for 4 years before she was appointed Prioress of Inkamana. Her years as Prioress of Windhoek from 1979, were filled with much anxiety as it was the peak of the Namibian Independence struggle. There was much tension between church leaders and the government. But Mother Sighild bear her responsibility with courage and prayer. The lack of personnel continued to be felt in the entire priory, thus, in 1983, the community of Anamulenge had to be handed over to the Oshikuku Sisters. In 1984, she was re-elected for a second and led the priory until 1987.

At the age of 71, Mother Sighild was elected again Prioress of Inkamana in 1992. She led that Priory until its’ closure in 2000.

(1987–1995; 2010–2014) –

Mother Maria Ignatius GLASER, OSB was born on 09^th December 1940 at Weipert in Germany. She made her Temporal Vows on 22 April 1965 in Bernried, Tutzing Priory and was sent on international mission to Portugal on 11 October 1972, where she made also her Perpetual Profession of Vows in Baltar on 02 December 1973. From 1977 to 1982, she was the Directress of the Theological Institute for Religious, of the Diocese of Augsburg, Germany.

In May 1982, she received her mission to Namibia and worked in Oshikuku Mission as Sister In-charge of the Benedictine Sisters of Oshikuku Congregation. She left Oshikuku in 1987 when she was elected Prioress of Windhoek. She appointed Sr. Alfrida PLÜCKTHUN, OSB, who has been Subprioress since 1980 to be her Subprioress for the next two years. In 1989, she appointed Sr. Ortrud SCHWEHR, OSB for the last three years of her first term. When she was re-elected for the second term of three years, she once again appointed Sr. Alfrida PLÜCKTHUN, OSB, as Subprioress.

The first official Application for transfer of Oshikuku Sisters to the Tutzing Congregation happened during Sr. Maria Ignatius’ time between 1988 and 1989 but it was at first denied and forbidden.

During her leadership, the lack of personnel in the Priory of Windhoek made her and her government close some of the Outstations; the first one was Shambyu, which was given over to the Oshikuku Sisters’ Congregation in 1989. Our old Oshikuku Mission with its Hospital of St. Martin had to be also given up in 1990. As the owners of the Döbra Holiday House for the Sisters claimed back their property for other purposes, the Priory bought then a farm near Windhoek, named “Subiaco” where the sisters would go for some days of rest and prayer away from the city. In August 1992, Sr. Maria Ignatius was re-elected for a term of three years. Her second term focused on opening the Novitiate and received the first Namibian Candidates.  In 1994, the Bunya Mission was also handed over to the Oshikuku Sisters and the handing-over of the Andara Mission was prepared. The Priory was then composed of only three communities, the Priory House in Windhoek with the RC Hospital, Swakopmund and Subiaco; yet it courageously continued its’ mission that heals and saves.

On 05-6 October 1994, Sr. Maria Ignatius together with the spiritual assistance of Abbot Willibrord van ROMPAEY OSB as well as two official observers from the Generalate (Sr. Matilda HANDL, OSB and Sr. Cherubina KROMBACHER, OSB), held the 1^st General Assembly with all Sisters of Windhoek Priory. The most important issue for this assembly was the study and discernment of the petition of part of the Oshikuku Sisters who wanted to transfer into our Congregation.  Mother Margareta Maria KAKOLOLO, OSB, Superior General of Oshikuku Congregation, had presented the application on 06^th August 1994.  As the matter exceeded the authority of the Priory Assembly, it was referred to the upcoming General Chapter held on 28 October – 28 November 1994. In this Chapter Sr. Maria Ignatius was elected as Vicaress of the Congregation. She ended her term in April 1995. The Generalate and Archbishop Bonifatius HAUSHIKU of Windhoek appointed her thereafter as the responsible member of the Generalate for the procedure and transfer process of Oshikuku Sisters. 

Her term as Vicaress General ended with the General Chapter of 2000. In June 2001, the then Iberian Priory, today Torres Novas Priory for Portugal, Spain and Angola countries, elected her Prioress and was installed on 15^th August 2001; the Priory Election Chapter re-elected her on 27 December 2006 for a second term.  When Windhoek Priory had its election Priory Chapter in 2009, Mother Maria Ignatius was once again elected as Prioress of Windhoek. She returned to Namibia in 2010 and led the priory from April 1 of that year until December 2014.  Since the end of her term, she served in the Generalate in Rome as Econome of the Congregation until 2025 when she returned to Germany.
