The Sunday dialogues, to which Abbot Peter von Sury invites people twice a year, deepen the exchange with the public on topics related to spirituality, religion, and the church. Host: Father Ludwig Ziegerer.
Next Sunday Talks: February 9, 2025
Location: Klosterhotel Kreuz
Time: 10:45 am
Topic: “Holy Year 2025”
“Pilgrims of hope” or faith marketing?
For centuries, the Catholic Church has proclaimed a “Holy Year” every 25 years. Pope Francis opened the “Holy Door” in St. Peter’s Basilica on Christmas Eve to great media effect. The city of Rome is expecting over 40 million pilgrims. Mariastein is also officially considered a “place of pilgrimage”. The “Holy Year”: an opportunity to renew the church, deepen faith and strengthen hope? Or rather a religious fair, a pious spectacle, spiritual window-dressing?
In conversation with Abbot Peter, you are invited to get to the bottom of the “Holy Year”, express reservations, formulate expectations and contribute ideas. Moderation: Fr. Ludwig Ziegerer.
