2005 - Integration of All Saints

On Friday, 10 June 2005, members of the English Speaking Mission discussed with Auxiliary Bishop Weider the integration of All Saints. Among others the following arrangements were agreed:

1. Holy Mass on Sundays at Hüttenweg will be part of the Mission. The unitary Mission will have in the future three locations for Holy Mass:
St Bernhard, St Albert the Great, All Saints
(plus the Filipino Community at Holy Ghost). The Mission Office is in the rectory of St Bernhard.
2. The head of the English Speaking Mission is the Rector Ecclesiae of the All Saints Blessed Sacrament Chapel.
He will be responsible for the arrangement for Sunday Holy Mass at Hüttenweg.
Father Pfaff, Father Adonis and Father Gillessen will celebrate there.
Father Klein and Father Mertes have indicated their willingness also to help out at All Saints.
3. In order that the whole Mission might function as a unitary whole there shall be common services and meetings.
The Mission Council will discuss dates and occasions.
4. There will be a common Mission bulletin, which will supersede all existing local publications.
It will be distributed at all three places of worship and be sent to hotels etc.
5. Between two and five representatives of the faithful from All Saints will be co-opted unto the Mission Council until the next elections are held.


We welcome these arrangements and hope that the integration of All Saints into the Mission will be seen as an enrichment for the English Speaking faithful.

God bless our Mission!

2005 - Sharing agreements in St Albert

From St David to St Albert
Berlin, 18-9-2005

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The parish of St Ludwig welcomes you cordially in its church of St Albert. It is a pleasure for us to share this church and rooms of the parish-centre with you.
We hope and wish that you might feel at home more and more in St Albert and that you will develop a lively atmosphere of faith and belonging for your community here. I am personally full of hope that a good relationship will grow between our communities.
May God bless this new beginning with the "spirit of power and love and self-control" (2 Tim, 1,7). I am looking forward to seeing you again.

Welcome all of you, Fr. Hans-G. Löffler, OFM
