Neukirchen opens new parish center for community and culture

A new parish center has been officially opened in Neukirchen following a 14-month construction period. The inauguration took place on October 4 during a harvest festival, with Bishop Dr. Manfred Scheuer presiding over the ceremony.

The facility is designed to serve as a hub for church, culture, and community, providing space for various events and social interactions. The project was completed with significant volunteer support, notably from Wolfgang Illinger and Hans Moser, as well as cooperation from Robert Wöss of the Diocese of Linz.

Mayor Martin Pelzer praised the project, highlighting the personal commitment of the volunteers. To celebrate the opening, a festival week was held featuring cinema, music, cabaret, and culinary offerings to introduce the community to the new venue.
