Mass Times

You will probably be aware that the Goverment are planning to introduce compulsory vaccination against Coivd19.  Last week the Bishops of Austria issued a declaration on the topic. 

You might to read it.    Attached is a rough translation of the document (Its not the most elegant of translations, and all errors are mine!)

Bishops Declaration on Compulsory Vaccination

For many years the Vienna English Speaking community has made a Retreat to a Marian Shrine somewhere in Austria. This year we will stay close to home and visit the oldest Church in Vienna dedicated to the Mother of God.

We will gather in Maria am Gestade, Salvatorgasse, 1010 at 2pm.

Our time will begin with a meditation on two wonderful paintings from the life of Mary. (The Annunciation is shown here.)

Then there will be time to have a look around the Church, including the tomb of St Clement Hofbauer, the Patron Saint of Vienna.

We will end out time together by celebrating Mass.

From today, 15th September, it is once more compulsory to wear an FFP2 mask at Mass.

This is inline with the various changes that the Government have introduced  in wider society from today.
