6. HAVE YOU HAD YOUR CAR BLESSED YET?

On Thursday we are celebrating the memorial of St. Christopher who – according to belief – protects drivers and their cars. Aren’t we all lucky drivers to have such a guardian angel? But to obtain his protection we must of course first get our car blessed.

The Blessing of Cars and any kind of Vehicle will take place next Sunday, July 28th at 2 pm.
