Volunteers and full-time staff go on pilgrimage together

A pilgrimage week in Western Pomerania for full-time and volunteer women

It is one of the greatest gifts of my life: I have been looking after the “Open Chapel” in Jager on a voluntary basis since I first went on a pilgrimage ten years ago. Who else has the opportunity to design a chapel, in terms of content, spiritually, creatively, sometimes even festively?

My commitment gives me a lot of fulfillment and grateful moments - but as with many honorary positions, there are also challenges and downsides to overcome. What about the support of the responsible full-time staff? Are my spiritual ideas “right” or do I lack theological knowledge? In times of busy schedules, it is sometimes difficult to have enough time for each other to give space to uncertainties or requests for support.

I was very pleased when Nicole Chibici-Revneanu asked me, as a newly appointed pastoral college director, whether we would like to organize a joint pilgrimage break for full-time and volunteer women. And so, under the heading “Women with God in the Green”, we are now seeking the expanse together.  < /p>

We want to get closer to the inner expanse step by step, on straight paths and detours, through things that are visible from afar, things that open up surprisingly, via crossroads, in departure, standstill, conversion. An expanse that can be borne by the expectation that women are on the road together, with time and openness … and the hope that God's blessing will surround and accompany us on our paths.

The pilgrimage week takes place from April 7-11 in and around Jager, including a city pilgrimage day in Stralsund. You can register until March 7 at the Pastoralkolleg Ratzeburg.
