Ona Galdikaitė also known as Sesuo Marija Augustinos (Sister Mary Augustina) (1898–1990) was a Lithuanian poet, nun and dissident.
In 1929, Placidos Paulikauskaitės donated his farm Padvariai in the Kretinga district for the purpose of establishing the order.
[2] The farm contained about 43 hectares of rocky land, and had an old abandoned homestead, an apiary and five thatched-roof huts, in which the sisters were able to live.
[1] The sisters began a school for children, provided shelter for elderly women and orphans and took up sewing[3] ecclesiastical vestments, and by 1932 had completed a 2-story wooden monastery.
[1] In 1949, Sister Mary Augustina was arrested, held in Kaunas, then sent to Kretinga and finally to Vilnius, where she was sentenced to ten years imprisonment.
[1] Between 1977 and 1990, Sister Mary Augustina participated in the underground literary movement, writing poems under the pseudonym "Vynmedžio šakelė" (meaning vine stem), which were published in Žurnalą Rūpintojėlis (Journal Pensive).
