Star Pilgrimage of the Parish Association to Fraueninsel: Faith, Path, and Community in Chiemgau

On Sunday, September 20, 2026, the parish association Blessed Irmengard will embark on a journey to Fraueninsel together. The star pilgrimage combines prayer, pilgrimage, and spiritual community centered around the veneration of Blessed Irmengard, who is honored as an important witness of faith on Fraueninsel. For centuries, Fraueninsel has been regarded as a pilgrimage site and a place of power, shaped by Benedictine spirituality and the special atmosphere of the Frauenwörth Monastery.

Setting out from the Communities

The communities of the parish association Blessed Irmengard will start together, carrying their thoughts of the journey in their hearts and coming together along the way in the silent power of prayer. According to the published information, participants will meet at 8:30 AM at the parish church of Breitbrunn; from there, the path will continue to the communal pilgrimage. The parish church of St. Johannes is located at Kirchplatz 2 in 83254 Breitbrunn a.Chiemsee.

Liturgical Celebration on the Island

At the Münster on Fraueninsel, the parish association will celebrate the worship service as the highlight of the day. The island is closely linked to the history of the Frauenwörth Monastery and the veneration of Blessed Irmengard, who is known as an intercessor in various concerns of the people. Thus, a faith experience is created that uniquely brings together tradition, liturgy, and community.

On the Way in the Sign of Hope

The pilgrimage appeals to those seeking peace, contemplation, and a visible form of shared faith. The journey across Chiemsee, the arrival on the island, and the festive worship service give the day a clear spiritual movement: from the departure through the shared journey to the celebration in the house of God. Fraueninsel is a fitting place for this with its special radiance and long religious history.
