Munich/Vienna - Also in the Corona crisis Jesuits want to make pastoral care possible. For that purpose a new newsletter of the Austrian and German Jesuits started from Thursday, March 19th. Under the title "Ignatian Neighbourhood Help" spiritual impulses are to be sent out daily in the morning and on Saturday a proposal for a Sunday house service. In addition, further digital offers from the different communities and institutions of the Jesuits are to be sent, in order to point out not only digital neighbourhood help, but also local offers.

"Many people are very insecure at the moment, some of them are sitting at home and cannot go to church as usual - especially in view of the coming Easter surely additionally painful for many. We should show people: we are still here for you - not analog, but digital", explains Pia Dyckmans. The public relations officer of the Jesuits in Germany launched the newsletter together with her Austrian colleague Franziska Fleischer. They report that the Jesuits were immediately convinced of the necessity and made themselves available for this offer within a few hours.

In the crisis the order stands together and shows that digital pastoral care is now of particular importance. Every day another Jesuit writes a spiritual impulse for the newsletter "Ignatian Neighbourhood Help". The newsletter is to be sent first until April 30th, 2020.

Here you can register for the newsletter "Ignatian Neighbourhood Help" (in German) free of charge.
