Parish

Mesenich is a parish, Metzdorf with Kemperborn (Hof) and Grewenich are branches. Mesenich probably already had a parish church when Provost Meffried of St. Paulin in Trier handed over a church in the village to his monastery in 1227. 1231 confirmed Pope Gregory IX. this incorporation , which lasted until the end of the 18th century. In 1800 the parish, which at that time, as always before, was incorporated into the regional chapter of Bitburg, included the parishes of Mesenich-Foedelich, Metzdorf, Mörsdorf and Grevenich. From 1802 to 1817 Mesenich with Foedelich and Grevenich was under the bishop of Metz. Mörsdorf left the Mesenich parish association for good in 1807;

Mesenich belonged to the Irrel deanery, then came to the Welschbillig deanery with effect from December 15, 1970 and from April 1, 2004 to the newly established Schweich-Welschbillig deanery. The pastoral care unit Ralingen St. Martin with the parishes of Mesenich, Edingen, Wintersdorf and Langsur was founded with effect from July 1, 2007.
