An emblematic figure of the Teresian community
The religious Maria Victoria Molins left this world at the age of 88 on the night of February 20, surrounded by her community at home. Its departure, caused by a heart crisis, has left a deep gap between those who knew her. The rector of Santa Anna, Mossèn Peio Sánchez, stated that “his heart, which he always gave so much, has now stopped beating”, emphasizing his immense generosity.
Ceremonies to honor its memory
The community has been mobilized to say goodbye to it with a evening that will take place on Thursday 20 at 16h at the Les Corts funeral home. The next day, at 12 noon, a funeral mass officiated by the same Father Sánchez will be held. In addition, on Monday 24, the parish of Santa Anna will host a farewell ceremony at 7pm, where their contributions and their legacy will be remembered.
A legacy of love and dedication
Maria Victoria Molins, known as the Wiki, was formed under the influence of her teacher Sister Genoveva Masip, and considered himself a “street nun”. He spent twenty years writing a column in Christian Catalonia, where he shared reflections on life and faith, and recently continued to contribute to the Church section out of departure.
Solidarity Initiatives
In 2017, Viqui was one of the founders of “The Santa Anna Campaign Hospital”, a project dedicated to meeting the needs of the most disadvantaged. This effort has been recognized with the creation of the Viqui Molins Foundation, which seeks to keep its social commitment alive.
An inspirational life journey
Born on March 28, 1936 in Barcelona, Viqui Molins lived a life marked by learning and dedication. Educated at the Teresian College, she joined the company of Santa Teresa de Jesus at the age of 19. His career included the direction of Editions STJ and the writing of more than 60 books that address educational and social issues.
Commitment to the most needy
From 1985, he had an intense call to work with the poorest, especially after his experiences in Latin America and Africa. He made his new home from the Raval district, where he fully praised the marginalized after his retirement.
Recognitions and impact
His dedication did not go unnoticed. In 2015, she was invested by Doctor Honoris Causa from the Ramon Llull University, and in the same year she received the Creu de Sant Jordi, one of the highest honors granted by the Generalitat de Catalunya. In addition, she was a town crier of the Raval Festival, reaffirming her bond with the community.
Their legacy endures
Despite the challenges he faced, the passion of Maria Victoria Molins to serve others is an example to follow. His actions and his dedication have left an indelible brand in society, and his legacy will continue through the Viqui Molins Foundation and the projects he started.
In a world that often forgot the most vulnerable, the life of Viqui Molins reminds us of the importance of compassion and action. His example inspires us to continue working for a better future for all.
