The Catholic Women’s Movement supports women in the Philippines with this year’s Lenten project.
This year, the Catholic Women’s Movement again invited people to Family Fasting Day under the organization of the Women’s Club (Frauenrunde) of the parish Heart of Jesus, Töllergasse in 21st District, Vienna. This year, a big amount was collected for the Philippines’ Catholic Women’s Movement projects.
With its motto, “Fair Care work knows no borders, Family Fasting Day is celebrated in the parish with a Holy Mass.
The Our Lady of Manaoag Group joined the celebration in Vienna and even rendered songs during the communion. The group even donated the typical Filipino noodle (pansit) for the event – the „Suppensonntag“ followed after the mass.
The parish thanked the women and men who prepared the soups and the many helpers who diligently supported the Family Fasting Day campaign.
Thanks to the many visitors who donated to the campaign’s success.
