Wolfsberg celebrates: Markuskirche receives anniversary status from Bishop Marketz

In a significant decision, Bishop Josef Marketz appointed the Markuskirche in Wolfsberg to the anniversary church. This is a big privilege for the community and makes it part of a special occasion that is celebrated every 25 years. Jubilee churches play a central role in the Holy Celebrations of the Catholic Church, which are always connected to the Holy Year.

The appointment as to the anniversary church is not only a sign of honor, but also a way for the believers, to participate in spiritual celebrations and special services. An important feature of these celebrations is to open the holy gate in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, which is the most visible expression of this special year.

Jubiläckskirchen are a symbol of renewal and reflection on faith. They offer believers the opportunity to come together in the community and to experience spiritual environment. The decision to honor the Markuskirche expresses regional belonging to the global church.

The Catholic tradition sees the Holy Year as a period of grace in which the believers can experience spiritual renewal through special rituals and prayers. The appointment by Bishop Marketz is a step that celebrates and reinforced the connection of the community to these benevolence and grace.

Another important element is the integration of the people into the celebrations associated with the collection of this special church. The believers are given the chance to actively participate in the festive events, which leads to a deep community experience.

The decision to name the Markuskirche as an anniversary church is also a way to highlight the importance of churches and spiritual places for the community. More details on this significant event can be found in the reports from www.kath-kirche-kaernten.at .
