Community lives community: successful Sunday breakfast in Waldneukirchen

Last Sunday an exciting event took place in Waldneukirchen: representatives of the community and the parish invited to the popular Sunday breakfast. The parish hall was quickly filled because many parishioners took the opportunity to exchange ideas and enjoy the community after the service. Mayor Karl Schneckenleitner and pastor Alois Hofmann welcomed the numerous guests with open arms and served personally fragrant coffee and a seductive selection of delicious cakes. The proceeds of this warm event are used to cover the operating costs of the rectory, which is used by both the parish and the community for various occasions, such as meinbezirk.at reported.

a strong signal of the community

In parallel to these events, a great spiritual event took place: the international youth day, in which 30,000 young believers took part. These cheering young people came together in the arena to celebrate an impressive service together. Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider encouraged the young Christians in his inspiring sermon to carry the omnipresent love of God into the world and make them tangible through their deeds. "Here, I am, says God, I am here for you," he reminded the people present that every single one has to live love among themselves in order to be recognized as a disciple of God, as nac.today reported.

Both events impressively show how important community and charity are in different contexts. While the Sunday breakfast was a place to meet and maintain relationships in Waldneukirchen, the youth day set a strong sign for the role of young people in faith and mediation of God's love. These moving moments of the community, both in everyday life and in the spiritual meeting, stand for a deeply rooted connection and the pursuit of better cooperation.
