New Year's reception in Büttelborn: A festive day for the community!

On Sunday, February 2nd, 2025, the Catholic parish of St. Nikolaus from the Flüe in Büttelborn invites you to her New Year's reception. The reception begins at 12:00 p.m. in the Catholic parish center, located in Dornheimer Str. 26. In advance, a Sunday service takes place in the parish church at 11:00 a.m. This tradition not only offers the community members the opportunity to meet, but also to review the past year and to gain views of current projects.

A central element of New Year's reception is a benefit lunch, the proceeds of which are determined for aid projects in Oberá (Argentina) and Caravelí (Peru). The Freundeskreis for Latin America will be present for this and will inform about the developments of the projects and the distribution of donations. The parish and administrative council as well as the parish group Groß-Gerau / Büttelborn will report on ongoing topics, including the building process and the future of the Dornheim branch church of St. Johannes the Baptist

invitation and registration

For the benefit lunch, there are no fixed prices for the food and drinks. Instead, donations are requested at a reasonable amount. Coffee and cake are also offered, the community asks for donations. Registration for lunch is required by Friday, January 31, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. There are registration options in the parish office, by email, via registration lists in the churches or via an online form. Guests who want vegetarian or vegan options should specify this when registering, whereby spontaneous registrations are also welcome.

The event is open to all interested parishioners and fellow citizens and offers a great opportunity to strengthen the cohesion of the community. The reception is also a good way to find out about the plans of the new parish, the name of which is completed as part of the process until it was founded on 01.01.2028.

Review of previous events

The 2015 lunch included a wide range of culinary options, including pizza soup as well as Peruvian and Spanish specialties. In total, remarkable 4,400 euros were provided for aid projects in Argentina and Peru in 2014, which shows how important these events are for the support of international projects.

The New Year's reception of St. Nikolaus from the Flüe community is therefore not only a sociable gathering, but also a significant contribution to the support of charitable projects that invites all community members and interested parties to actively participate and donate. This year, too, a strong sign of solidarity is set that goes beyond the borders of the community.

[diensumMainz.de] reports that the registration is necessary to ensure smooth planning. The community will come together again to feast, donate and to work for the good cause.
