Catholic City Church Dortmund
The Catholic Church in Dortmund in the city of Dortmund includes 63 parishes as well as a large number of social services and institutions, church associations and groups.
A total of 170,000 Catholics live in Dortmund, around a third of the population. In terms of organization, Dortmund has had a deanery since July 1, 2006 . The Catholic Church lives in worship, preaching the Gospel and serving the poor.
In the Catholic Center, near the Provost Church of St. Johannes Baptist , the areas of education, meeting and counseling are combined under one roof.
Pastoral impulses emanate from the initiative Katholisches Forum Dortmund , an institution founded by Franciscans and today managed by Pallottines , so-called distant pastoral care, which addresses people who struggle with the Church. There is a meeting place here that opens up modern forms of worship and meditation .
