Caritas charitable initiatives in Germany

Overview

Caritas organizations in various German dioceses are implementing new charitable initiatives and service expansions for 2026.

In the Diocese of Fulda, the organization is expanding pastoral care services through a professional training program for staff to provide spiritual guidance and workshops. The diocese also announced ‘Caritas Sunday’ for September 20, 2026, under the motto ‘Zusammen geht was. Caritas verbindet Generationen’ (Together something happens. Caritas connects generations) to promote intergenerational solidarity through parish donations.

In the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising, the autumn collection is scheduled to begin on September 27, 2026. This includes church services and door-to-door fundraising by volunteers in the city and district of Rosenheim. Funds collected are intended to support regional services such as counseling, caregiver support, and social psychiatric services, with 40% used by parishes and 60% managed by local Caritas centers.
