St. John Berchmans – English Speaking Catholic Community in Munich

Welcome to St. John Berchmans, an English-speaking Catholic Community in Munich, Germany. Whether you have lived here for decades, are new in town, or only passing through, please join us for Mass on Sundays!

Knowing Jesus – An online retreat for any time of year

by the Ignatian Spirituality Centre Glasgow

Christian tradition believes that the person of Jesus Christ reveals God to us. If we are to follow Christ and imitate him, we need to know him through his words and actions as shown in the Gospels. Walk with us and really come to understand and love Jesus. We will ponder Gospel stories, reflect on their meaning and see how startlingly relevant Jesus is to living a truly human life in the 21st Century.

Current Announcements

Great news! On Sunday, 8 May we will return to the St. John Berchmans Chapel in the Kaulbachstrasse. Mass will return to its regular time of 10:30 a.m. If you have joined the community in the past two years and are not sure where that is, just talk to any of the long-time members. They will be more than happy to give you directions. You can also find directions on our website, under “How to find us.”

Update (April 1, 2022): Wearing of FFP2/N95 masks during mass is no longer mandatory. However, it is recommended.

Local and International Outreach: We continue to support our local and international charities. The Missionaries of Charity in Munich, although we no longer support with foodstuffs and sundries, we do provide them with financial support when the need arises. The Refugee Center in Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn outside of Munich still needs our continued support. The Small Home in Kenya is one of our International Outreach Projects that requires financial support on a recurring basis. If you would like to make a designated donation to any one of these charities, please drop your donation in an envelope that identifies the charity and place it in the donation baskets placed at the rear of the church.
