The Feast day of Saint Gertrude at Helfta (Germany)
November 23, 2024
On the solemnity of St. Gertrude, the Bishop Dr. Gerhard Feige celebrated the mass. Leo Nowak, bishop emeritus, Councilor Kraning and Abbot General Fr. Mauro-Guiseppe and Fr. Bruno (Langwaden) all concelebrated. Thank you to all for the 25 years of rebuilding Helfta Monastery and consecrating the church. It wasn't just the choir room that was filled with brothers and sisters from St. Marienstern, St. Marienthal, Seligenthal, Langwaden and Neuzelle, but the church was full of people who felt it was important to celebrate with us. We also extended our grateful prayers to the many acquaintances and others - living and already deceased - who made their very concrete contribution to the reconstruction. It was an all around lovely celebration!
