Grabenstätt: carol singers collect donations virtually

Due to the Corona, the children and young people cannot go from door to door as Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar as usual and bring the blessing into the houses and apartments. Instead, five of them shot a professional carol singing video in the St. Maximilian parish church in Grabenstätt and elsewhere, which is linked on the homepage of the Parish Association of St. Francis of Assisi in Bergen, Erlstätt, Grabenstätt, Vachendorf. In this it is pointed out that citizens can donate to poor children and young people in the »Centro Esperança« in the Brazilian Tapauá (Amazon region) this year too. In this center of hope, the adolescents are cared for part-time and prepared for professional life in courses. There they learn skills such as sewing, knitting, wood carving and cooking, but also computer skills, music and social skills. They are also provided with food. The other half of the day they go to school.

Donations can be placed in the offering boxes in the parish churches or in the collecting baskets at a church service throughout January.

Alternatively, there is also the option of transferring donations to the following VR Bank account details: Bergen Church Foundation (IBAN: DE62 7109 0000 0008 3402 42), Erlstätt Church Foundation (DE28 7109 0000 0008 1012 64), Grabenstätt Church Foundation (DE87 7109 0000 0008 1105 81) and the Vachendorf Church Foundation (DE77 7109 0000 0007 2108 92).

Since New Year’s Eve, the parish association’s churches have also been offering »blessings packages« for »carol singing at home« to take away. In addition to incense, charcoal and chalk, they also contain blessing stickers and a saying with instructions for the blessing of houses and apartments.
