SISTER ROSALIND GEFRE BILL MURRAY GEORGE TSAMIS St Paul Saints TWINS Bobblehead

Description: ST. PAUL, Minn. — For years, Sister Roz helped keep St. Paul Saints fans relaxed on game day.She's no longer giving massages at games, but as we celebrate Women's History Month, we wondered where Sister Roz was inspired to channel her love for God through the power of massage."As a child, I was sort of praying all the time," said Sister Roz. "I'd be in the garden, I'd be praying as I was out in the field." Sister Rosalind Gefre, or Roz as most people call her, always knew she was destined to become a nun."I went to Mom and I said, 'You know, Mama, I just would like to go into convent,'" she said.But becoming a massage therapist wasn't part of those plans growing up on a farm in North Dakota."Every morning, every noon we had to milk and we didn't have any electricity so we all milked with our hands," she said.Those strong hands would come in handy years later as she started giving massages, first to her nursing patients, then to fans at Saints games."There is nothing in all the world like massage," she said. "Of course, I was at the Saints for 25 years. It was so wonderful to be out there."Peter Fahnlander credits Sister Roz for his career as a massage therapist."I found purpose in life, and I think Sister has given me that purpose," Fahnlander said.He's seen firsthand what a massage from Sister Roz can mean."She just radiates that beam of love. Just pure love coming out of her heart. She touches people through massage and through her spirituality," he said. "People come up to hug her and she's just a farm girl, she just loves people.""It always surprises me because I am, in my head, I'm a farm girl and I love being a farm girl, and that's what I still am," she said. "Not someone great, I'm a farm girl in my heart." Sister Rosalind is the founder of Sister Rosalind’s Massage and Wellness Centers. It has been her life’s purpose to spread God’s message and the power of healing through touch. When Sister Rosalind started publicly doing massage twenty years ago, massage was not accepted, but instead it was associated with prostitution. It brought a great deal of shame upon her and her order. Many considered her a “dirty old woman” as she says. Today, massage is very popular and very accepted largely because of her work in the field.We are a Christian organization, based on Sister Rosalind’s love of God. We will share as much or as little of our spiritual ministry with you as you would like. If you do not share our faith, your spiritual experience with us will be no different than that of any other clinic. We want you to feel relaxed, welcomed and at home.You can read more about Sister Rosalind and her story, in her biography, “Hands That Touch, Hands That Heal.” Sister Rosalind’s journey is an amazing one. She was a poor German speaking girl in Strasburg, North Dakota, who became a Nun, an LPN, and a business owner, all while following the call of her heart to spread God’s message.Massage relieved chronic pain that she had lived with her entire life and it was a turning point. Shunned by the members of her order, she followed her heart, challenging everyone’s notions of what healing was. Today she has touched many lives physically and spiritually. She is truly an amazing woman.
