For the first time Adoratio Congress in Salzburg: Faith, Community and Inspiration!
From October 3 to 5, 2025, Salzburg will be hosting the Adoratio Congress for the first time, an event that wants to conquer the hearts of up to 2,000 participants. This congress takes place in the impressive Salzburg Cathedral and promises a spiritual highlight that has already triggered great enthusiasm in Altötting. Kath.net reports that ....
With the topic of "passionate love of God", the congress emphasizes a central element of faith. For this purpose, top -class speakers are expected. Passau bishop Stefan Oster, who brought the congress to Germany in 2019, will be one of the main speakers. Berna Lang, Georg Mayr-Melnhof, Hanna-Barbara Gerl-Falkovitz and sister Maria Dulcissima also contribute to the deepening of faith with their impulses. This variety of voices should help the participants to promote their faith experiences and to strengthen the community in faith.
A holistic program
The congress is opened on October 3 at 5:45 p.m. by Archbishop Franz Lackner, who will celebrate a solemn Holy Mass. The event combines various elements: worship offers, an atmospheric procession of lights, exciting lectures and informal talk show formats. "This love is not based on performance, but can be experienced for everyone," explains organizer Rupert Santner, known as "Don Rupi".
A highlight will also be the Eucharist on October 4 at 10.45 a.m., which is led by Salzburg Auxiliary Bishop Hansjörg Hofer. For those who cannot participate in person, live streams are offered via YouTube, Radio Maria and K-TV, so that clergymen and lay people can be connected at the same time.
Preview of Altötting
A week before the congress in Salzburg, in the meantime, more than 1,500 believers gather in the nearby Altötting for the Adoratio Congress, which is also offered a number of well -known speakers. Among other things, Bishop Stefan Oster and Cardinal Reinhard Marx are on the program. There are also numerous offers in Altötting, from lectures to workshops to prayer times on the agenda that aim to impart new inspiration and faith experiences.
The Adoratio Congress is not only a celebration of faith, but also a space of encounter and exchange that brings people closer together. This common experience combines with the deep longing to deepen the relationship with God. The event in Salzburg is therefore a must for everyone who wants to experience faith and community.
