Christina Skluzacek was born on May 21, 1885, north of New Prague, Minnesota, in Helena Township to Vaclav and Elizabeth Kodadek Skluzacek. She was only 14 months old when her father passed away when he was kicked in the head by a horse.
In 1901, when Christina was 16, her sister Katherine, now Sr. Mary Wenceslaus, who had joined the School Sisters of St. Francis, passed away. Christina followed her sister's calling to religious life and chose the same name: Sister Mary Wenceslaus.
Sister Mary Wenceslaus was a spiritual presence to the family during WWI and WWII and provided her nephews with scapulas, prayers and medals as they went off to war.
She spent her final years with the School Sisters of St. Francis in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and died at the age of 85.
Sister Wenceslaus left behind a 23" x 24" drawing of a chalice on cloth that hung in the Wencel and Mary Krenik home in Le Center, Minnesota for many years. It was a gift to her sister, Mary Skluzacek Krenik.
