Pastoral Ministry of Tourism - Categorial Pastoral Care of the Archdiocese Vienna/VIRC

Vienna International Religious Centre - VIRC

Are you on a short trip to our beautiful city? Are you at home in Vienna or do you live and work here for a few years? Are you interested in meeting people from other countries, cultures and languages?

Then we warmly invite you to join our international community at the Votive Church in Vienna at 1090, Rooseveltplatz. We look forward to see you at our

multilingual Eucharist on Sundays at 11:30 a.m.

We would be happy to help you to make contacts. We also offer preparation for the sacraments in different languages. You will find support and an open ear with us if you want to celebrate funerals or blessings in a language other than German or in several languages.

There are many people in our community with different biographies and backgrounds. Since many of them move to another place after a few years, we are constantly challenged to get involved with the needs of specific people at a specific time. Join us - be one of them! Please contact us at office@virc.at to join our mailing list.

If you want to celebrate in another language, please find here some communites:
