Ship tour for seniors: Festive day on the Felia Rheni!

On Monday, June 23, 2025, there will be a special boat tour for seniors aged 65 and over, organized by the parishes of St. Aegidius, St. Marien, St. Martin and St. Johann Baptist. The event is dedicated to the patronage of John the Baptist and integrates the traditional parish fair of St. Johann Baptist. Participants can look forward to a wonderful time on the water, as the ship “Felia Rheni” will set off from the island of Grafenwerth at 11 a.m.

The return is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. The meeting point is at 10:45 a.m. at the Bonn Passenger Shipping (BPS) pier on the island. Participation in the tour is free, making this opportunity an attractive invitation to all seniors. Accompanying persons are also very welcome.

Registration and details

Anyone interested can register from now until June 20, 2025 at the parish office on 02224 - 931 563. This initiative aims to provide seniors in the communities with a community experience that combines both social and spiritual aspects.

The patronage, celebrated annually in honor of John the Baptist, has deep roots in the tradition of the Catholic Church. The celebrations not only provide a framework for spiritual renewal, but also an opportunity to strengthen community. In its reports, the Catholic Church of Carinthia emphasizes the importance of such celebrations, which promote the solidarity of believers and the maintenance of traditions.

This cruise is not only a beautiful way to enjoy nature, but also a cultural enrichment that keeps the community vibrant. Joint events like these are an important element in promoting social cohesion among older generations.

The organizers are looking forward to numerous registrations and hope that many seniors will take the opportunity to get out on the water in a friendly atmosphere and to experience the festive atmosphere of the patronage.
