BASILICA OF OUR LADY

ATTNANG-PUCHHEIM

AUSTRIA

The basilica is situated in the center of Puchheim and it is part of a redemptorist monastery.

"I encourage you to dare, having the Gospel and the Magisterium of the Church as the only boundary. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty in the service of the most needy and people who count nothing.”

- Pope Francis to Redemptorists

It was a cold November day but the church was open, "occupied" by kids and students who probably came in for one of their religious education lessons. I like silence, but it is always even better to come across a church that is alive.
