In 1962 the Philomena Church changed its patronage and has since been consecrated to the Most Holy Trinity. The parish center at Alxingergasse 2 was built between 1994 and 1996. The church building has been owned by the Neulandschulen Institute since 2014, and since 2015 the church has been a branch church of the parish "Zum Götöten Wort".

Location and architecture

Main body of the organ (without Rückpositiv)

The Dreifaltigkeitskirche is located at Alxingergasse 6 in the north of the Favoriten district, near the Waldmüllerpark . It is embedded in a building complex consisting of a church, monastery, parish center, school, kindergarten and after-school care center, which extends continuously from Alxingergasse 2 to Alxingergasse 10 and was owned by the Steyler Missionary Sisters until 2014 . Like the church and the former monastery, the educational institutions have since been owned by the Neulandschulen Institute.

The listed church building, the work of the architect Richard Jordan , is a hall church in the late Heimat style with stylized neo-Romanesque forms. The interior of the church, which was redesigned in the 1950s, is kept simple. The artist Ernst Bauernfeind created the altar mosaic in 1959 with a representation of the mercy seat and also grids, glass windows, a sgraffito and the floor mosaic in the baptistery and glass windows in the Sorrowful Mother of God chapel and the confessional chapel. The octagonal baptismal font in the baptistery is made of Adnet marble and was made by Father Alfred Fräbel from the St. Gabriel Mission House in the first quarter of the 20th century. A Way of the Cross in reverse glass painting is the work of Heinrich Tahedl and Franz Schütz created the console figures for the side altars in 1962 .

The three bells from the Favoritner bell foundry factory in Pfundner were installed on Trinity 1962 and are dedicated to the Trinity, Our Lady and Saint Anthony .
