Church festivals are an integral part of community life. **Pilgrimage to: Mary, Help of Christians (Maria Schmolln**) Take a break from the hectic pace of everyday life, don’t rush from one place to the next—consciously set aside a few hours to linger. Finding peace in the quiet of the church and enjoying hospitality in a friendly atmosphere—this is good for both body and soul. Parish pilgrimages, senior citizens, the KFB, school classes, or clubs—with or without an accompanying priest—are warmly welcome. Registration is requested. **Pilgrimage leads us to our center and gives the soul room to breathe.** As much as we appreciate the benefits of our prosperity, we recognize that it alone cannot satisfy our longing for the meaning of life. People embark on pilgrimages because they are searching for something: clarity for their lives, comfort, and help with life’s difficult challenges—there are many reasons that move people to set out on the journey and make a pilgrimage to a place of grace. No one walks the path alone; we are part of a greater whole, part of a story that has a good destination. **Pilgrim rooms are available.** The pilgrimage church itself was built between 1860 and 1863. The church was solemnly consecrated on October 28, 1863. In 1867, Maria Schmolln became its own parish. In 1880, the Chapel of Grace was added to the pilgrimage church.
