After-Ordination of Dr. Christian Elsen: Faith and Community in Aschau

A festive service full of gratitude and blessing

The after-ordination of Dr. Christian Elsen invites to a celebratory faith experience in Aschau i. Chiemgau. The focus is on gratitude for the priesthood, the request for blessings for the new ministry, and the joy of a vibrant spiritual community.

Liturgy of special significance

The after-ordination is one of the moving moments in the Catholic tradition following the priesthood. In the parish church of the Presentation of the Lord, the festive service becomes a religious experience, centering on prayer, Eucharist, and communal singing. The first blessing adds a unique spiritual depth to the day.

Thankfulness, community, and spiritual connection

The celebration connects the community, the new priest, families, friends, and believers from the parish association Upper Priental. Looking at the priestly path of Dr. Christian Elsen, who has already been spiritually active in the Priental, makes the celebration a strong sign of trust, calling, and church community.

A place with a rich ecclesiastical history

The parish church of the Presentation of the Lord at Kirchplatz in Aschau shapes the town's image and provides a dignified setting for the service. The church space, the baroque-shaped surroundings, and the proximity to parish life create an atmosphere of calm, reflection, and spiritual gathering.

What visitors can expect

Those who experience the after-ordination in Aschau live can expect a dignified festive service, the personal first blessing, and subsequently lived community. The celebration connects tradition, theology, and heartfelt closeness in a special way. A visit is worthwhile for all who wish to experience faith as a living and inviting church.
