Opening night invitation CUPIDO

KIRCHE-FÜR-KÖLN invites us to the premiere of the new show CUPIDO in the Church of St. Michael at Brüsseler Platz, a cooperation with Cirque Bouffon.

In the style of the French Nouveau Cirque, CUPIDO creates a kind of utopia in the neo-Romanesque church of St. Michael, a world in which perhaps not everything is perfect, but in which in the end the good in people triumphs and the human reunites us. 

The premiere will take place next Wednesday, 23rd November at 19h30 . We will meet at 19h in front of the church St. Michael at Brüsseler Platz (in the Belgian quarter of Cologne).

KHG and Mentorat Köln support the event. Entrance fee for you is only 5 euros instead of 25 euros. Our contingent is limited.

Please register by Monday 21 November by email at:

Afterwards we propose to have a drink together.

The Night Café is looking for you !

Without a place to live in winter? The homeless chaplaincy is urgently looking for support for the "Night Café".

For the people without a home living on the streets in Cologne, the nights in winter will be brutally hard. That is why the pastoral care for homeless people in Cologne is organising the "Night Café" from now until March 2023: Every night, homeless people can spend the night in the warmth of a church parish.

For the nights from Thursday to Friday, this offer takes place, for example, in the church for homeless people ("Gubbio") Ulrichgasse 27-29, 50678 Cologne.

For this and also for the other nights we are urgently looking for helpers (18 years and older).

The task: Reception of the homeless around 9 pm, offering a small snack, overnight stay in the church or community centre, offering breakfast, closing the church/centre around 8 am. During this engagement you will have an amazingly positive and new experience.

If you would like to help, please contact Sister Christina at info@gubbio.de or call 0173/ 5709617.

On Thursday, 9 November, there will also be a Zoom meeting at 6 p.m., where you will get more information about the field of activity, experiences and impressions of the last years and can ask your questions.

You can register for this at the Mentorat here
