About us

Welcome to the Berlin Mission for the English speaking Roman Catholic Faithful!

Our Mission activities are focused on the Church of St Bernhard in Dahlem, in Berlin's leafy western suburbs.
Father Gillessen was given responsibility for the Mission in autumn 2003. He is assisted by Father Pfaff M. Afr. and other local priests. While St Bernhard's is the focus of the Mission's work, we have a network of four supporting churches, all in the west of the city. You will find full details elsewhere on this website.

We look forward to having you join us for Holy Mass and other celebrations. We offer a full range of religious education, preparation for marriage (in English of course!), and organize a number of social events. For more information, please contact Father Gillessen or our Mission Secretary, Sibylle Reed-Robie (who can be reached in our Mission Office, open Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.).

Berlin benefits from a rich network of foreign-language Missions which serve the city's migrant communities. Over 20% of the city's active Catholics are members of these various foreign missions: French-speaking, Spanish-speaking, Italian, Vietnamese, Slovene, Ukrainian, etc. Our own English Mission may not have the numbers of the very large Missions (e.g. those that serve the Polish or Croatian communities), but we are an energetic and devout community of Catholics from over two dozen countries.
