German Catholic parishes announce community events and communion preparations

Local Catholic parishes in Germany are organizing upcoming community and religious events. In Ditzingen, the ‘Nette Clique’ group is scheduling a meeting for October 7 at 8:00 PM to discuss future plans, including outdoor nature activities.

In Schwerte, the St. Marien parish is preparing for the 2027 First Communion celebrations under the theme ‘Our Feast with Jesus’. Information sessions for parents are scheduled for late September 2026, including an in-person meeting on September 29 and a digital session via Zoom on September 30. The parish noted that previous invitation letters contained incorrect Zoom credentials and has provided corrected access details. Preparation for the communion ceremonies is set to begin after the 2026 autumn holidays, with celebrations occurring after Easter 2027.
