Therefore, we are looking for a new
parish person approx. 70% for our manageable, family-friendly parish with the beautiful church in the town square starting in spring 2026 or by arrangement.
Your tasks
General pastoral activities, occasional services in the weekly office system, possibly KUW teaching at the upper level (7th to 9th grade), close collaboration with the pastoral team and coordinating it.
