Following the example of the diocese of St. Pölten, Burgenland's military pastor Alexander Wessely wants to bring people back into the church. He offers talks and help to make the step back "home" easier. 

The year 2025 is a so-called Ordinary Holy Year, which takes place every 25 years. The city of Rome is expecting around 45 million pilgrims.
