Biography
In 1933, she joined the women's monastic congregation “Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth” (Nazareth). The novice was held in Albano , Italy , after which she adopted the monastic name of Maria Canizia. As a nun, she was engaged in teaching activities in Kalisz , Poland. In 1938, she was sent to the Nazareth convent in Novogrudok, where she worked as a teacher in a school.
In August 1943, mass repressions against civilians took place in Navahrudak. Evgenia Matskevich, along with other nuns, proposed to the German occupation authorities to replace the arrested civilians. On the night of July 31 to August 1, she was arrested along with other nuns of the monastery and shot early in the morning of August 1 in a forest near Novogrudok.
