Feldkirchen: Remodeling of the Church of St. Michael sets new accents

In the Catholic Church, change is on the agenda, and not only for an ordinary reason. In the Feldkirchen district of Neuwied, full-time and volunteers show a strong commitment to a change within the community. A current project in the St. Michael Church includes a significant redesign of the interior, which is now accompanied by a survey to determine future interior designs.

"We hope that the church will be an inviting place for everyone - also for those who have moved away from the traditional church activities," says Wolfgang Stollhof, a committed volunteer in the community. The changes were initiated after a workshop took place in which the conventional pews were cleared aside and replaced by a circle of chairs. This change has made it possible for the community to get closer during the services and to interact with each other in a more family way.

An important innovation is the upcoming survey, which gives the community the opportunity to express their wishes and suggestions regarding future use of space. The local team hopes to receive valuable feedback from the survey in order to continue to make the church attractive and inviting. The survey will help to change the church not only in its physical form, but also to develop new formats and approaches that better meet the needs of today's community members.

The initiatives for redesigning in Feldkirchen are part of a more extensive change that was initiated in many communities of the diocese of Trier. The Catholic Church is faced with the challenge of reaching a larger part of the population and finding new ways to re -spend people who have distanced themselves from the church. This progress is a crucial step to keep the community relevant in today's society.

In general, it can be said that the room of the St. Michael church is now not only more functional, but also more inviting. The decision to replace the old benches with more flexible chairs shows the will to change and adapt to modern needs. Visitors can gather in a new, open environment and thus maintain stronger interpersonal connections.

The entire project and the upcoming survey reflect the dynamics within the Catholic Church, which tries to not only remain true to traditional values, but also to promote the church as a place of community and exchange. It remains to be seen in which ideas arise from the survey and how they will flow into the future use of the church, as www.rhein-zeitung.de reports .
