Riedenburg altar servers on the way: a fundraiser inspires city dwellers!

With a backpack and a donation box, the altar servers from Riedenburg brave their way - to try their luck with the traditional "pointed". The children and adolescents are determined to ask the city residents for sweets and small financial contributions for the altar server fund. A custom that not only brings joy, but also strengthens the community!

The "pointing" is more than just a small call. It is a venerable tradition in which the valet are rewarded for their tireless efforts in the service. For the little helpers it is an exciting time in which they not only collect gratitude, but also delicious sweets and maybe a few euros to increase their joint cash!

The altar servers grow!

There are good news! The number of altar servers of the St. Johannes parish is on the upper. Even if some parts of the city could not be reached, a positive trend shows: This means that it will soon be possible to fill the evening fairs in the parish church and in the monastery church with the committed minis. A real sign for the cohesion and the popularity of this valuable tradition!

On the Christkönigs Sunday, the last Sunday in the church year in front of Advent, the new altar servers are ceremoniously included in the rental community of the parish community. An exciting event that increases the anticipation for the coming Advent season!
