Vehicle blessing in Rosenheim: Blessing for safe summer travel!

A very special event will be celebrated in Rosenheim on July 20, 2025: The parish of St. Hedwig cordially invites you to a Christophorus service. This starts at 10:30 a.m. in the St. Hedwig Church and offers the opportunity to have yourself and your own vehicles blessed. This blessing is particularly important in the summertime, when many people travel.

Following the service, the vehicle blessing will take place in the rectory. Here the focus is on the blessed - be they cars, bicycles, scooters or even bobby cars. Saint Christopher, who is known to be the patron saint of travelers, has made it his mission to ensure a safe and accident-free journey. “Accident-free through the holidays!” could be the motto of this lovingly organized event, which not only serves to protect people on the roads, but also creates a feeling of community.

A festival for young and old

Both adults and children are cordially invited to the vehicle blessing. The occasion is more than just a religious ritual – it is also an opportunity to emphasize responsibility for creation and the well-being of others. All means of transport are taken into account during the blessing, so that no one and nothing is left out. Every child can also look forward to a delicious Christophorus ice cream, which will be presented to the little guests.

There is also the option of purchasing a Christophorus badge for the vehicles. This small but nice award will certainly be proudly displayed on the car in many families. The event, which is dedicated to Saint Christopher, highlights the importance of responsibility in road traffic and promotes awareness of safe transportation.

The celebrations for the feast of Saint Christopher reach their climax on July 24th. This is the perfect opportunity for communities to come together and strengthen both faith and a sense of community. The vehicle blessing is not only a contemplative but also a joyful event that is prepared with a lot of passion - as radio-charivari.de reports.

Save July 20th and bring your vehicles and family members! It will be an unforgettable day that will be a topic of conversation in the community for a long time and will further increase the anticipation of the summer holidays.
