Monastery Volunteers' Party

A prayer community for young people. We meet once a month at Kloster Stiepel. We usually begin with Holy Mass and then have about an hour of structured adoration with praise. After the monks' choir prayer and lunch, we continue with the respective program, which varies: lecture/impulse, exchange, Bible sharing, praying for one another, casual get-together, walking, etc. If you are between approximately 15 and 35 years old, feel free to stop by - and bring friends!

On September 5th, the Night of Open Churches will take place again in Bochum and Wattenscheid. The monastery and the parish have put together the following program for you: 4:30 PM: Guided tour of the monastery, 5:45 PM: Participation in the monks' evening prayer (Vespers), 6:30 PM: Solemn evening Mass with the choir of the pilgrimage church, 7:30 PM: Guided tour of the church, 8:00 PM: Taizé Vespers in the church, 9:15 PM: Structured adoration with praise music. You are warmly welcome!
