Next meeting of "Together instead of lonely"
"Together instead of lonely" is the name of an offering that takes place every 4th Sunday of the month from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The meeting point is our parish hall. All single people, whether young or old, not only from the parish, who wish to engage in conversation over a cozy cup of coffee or tea, are welcome. Especially on weekends, when the hustle and bustle of everyday life falls silent, loneliness becomes particularly noticeable. "The walls are closing in on me," as those affected may say. We want to counter this and talk together about life, current worries and problems, about God and the world, and about what is currently moving us. Community does good! So, a warm invitation to the next meeting on August 23, 2026, at 3 PM in the St. Marien parish hall. We look forward to seeing you!

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!
