Dear

Prayerful
Greetings to each one of you. I hope you are all
healthy and strong. I would like to bring to your
attention the following plan of the Liturgy of the
Syro Malabar Community Vienna, after 15th
May, 2020 as per the directives and guidelines of

Mass on Saturdays and Sundays. However the number of
persons who are allowed to be gathered in Maria
Lourdes is a maximum of 60 and in Saikogasse 8
Auferstehung Christi only 50. The authorities have
told us to make a list of the participants of each

rush and confusion in the premises of the Church.
The following is the concrete Plan of the SMC Holy
Mass in our given centers:

Sehr
geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe MitarbeiterInnen!
Wir haben
heuer Ostern in einer besonderen Weise gefeiert, an
die wir uns noch lange erinnern werden. Vielleicht
sind uns dabei manche Aspekte des Osterfestes neu
aufgegangen. Vielleicht ist damit auch jene
Ostererfahrung in uns gewachsen, die zunächst wohl
nur sehr leise die Jünger und Jüngerinnen Jesu nach
der Auferstehung des Herrn erfüllt hat.
