Pilgriming together: From Sorghof to the Basilica Gößweinstein – journeying in faith
In the stillness of early morning, an intense experience of faith begins: The pilgrimage of the Expositur Herz Jesu Sorghof leads in prayer, song, and conversation as a spiritual community to the historic Basilica Gößweinstein. Those who undertake the long journey experience peace, reflection, and the strength of lived spirituality.
Setting out in the dawn
In the first light of the day, the pilgrim group sets off from the Herz-Jesu-Kirche. The steps become prayer, and the pace remains mindful. Breaks, short devotions, and the rosary structure the stages. The aim is to arrive for a festive procession at midday, where liturgy, prayer, and adoration deepen the religious experience.
Tradition that carries – Sorghof and the Most Holy Trinity
The Sorghof pilgrimage community maintains a vibrant tradition to the Most Holy Trinity in Gößweinstein. The path leads over fields and forests – praying, singing, in silence, or in conversation. The basilica with its image of the Trinity is a significant pilgrimage site of the Franconian Switzerland, cared for by Franciscans; the holy district with pilgrimage museum and Stations of the Cross invites for deeper contemplation.
Liturgy highlights at the destination
After entering the basilica, a communal prayer, Stations of the Cross, and the pilgrimage service follow. The liturgy connects theology and everyday life: thanks, petitions, repentance, and sending. This makes the journey a sacramental sign – a piece of lived Church in the open air.
Experiencing community – safely on the way
Pilgrims pay attention to good footwear, weather protection, water, and snacks for the journey. The distance is approximately 25 kilometers. Community strengthens: Those who become tired find support, rhythm, and encouragement in the group. Children, teenagers, and newcomers are welcome.
Background: Pastoral care and leadership
The Vilseck–Schlicht–Sorghof parish community maintains an active community culture. Clergy from the community accompany services and pastoral offerings; dedicated volunteers carry the organization and prayer tradition of the pilgrimage.
