Pastoral area chapel village

If a chapel has been blessed or, like our chapel, even consecrated, there is a responsibility towards the parish of Fehring. Events may only be held there with their permission.

If a chapel is abandoned, care must be taken to ensure that objects used for religious services are secured and, if possible, reused elsewhere.

The Fehring parish church – first documented in 1305 – is the oldest in our district. The parishes of Hatzendorf, Kapfenstein, St. Anna am Aigen and Unterlamm are assigned to it.

 The parish of Fehring include:

– the Benefice St. John the Baptist (Bertholdstein Castle)

– Maria Loreto Chapel in Hohenbrugg Castle

– Chapel St. Florian in Schiefer

– Mass chapel St. Trinity in Schiefer

– Chapel St. Joseph in Petersdorf

– Chapel Sebastian and Fabian in Petzelsdorf

– Chapel St. Mary in Pertlstein

The region of south-east Styria with the pastoral areas of Fehring, Feldbach, Mureck and the south-east Styrian hill region is one of 8 regions of the Graz-Seckau diocese. In 2021, the deaneries were dissolved and the parishes were assigned to the newly created pastoral areas and regions.

Take your troubles to the chapel

Get down on your knees and pray

Your burdens will be lighter

And you’ll surely find the way
