Parish Freistadt donates 900 euros for pregnant women in need!

In the parish of Freistadt, a remarkable initiative was launched this Sunday, July 14, 2025. On the occasion of the "Day of Life", the parish transferred 900 euros to the organization "Aktion Leben". The sum comes from the sale of gift and surprise packers after the service, which were eagerly acquired among the visitors. This action not only underlines solidarity, but also the great heart of the community for pregnant women in need.

The parish Freistadt is committed to the valuable work of the "Aktion Leben", an organization of the Catholic action Austria. Their goal is to help pregnant women who have become a difficult situation through an unexpected pregnancy. Parish assistant Roland Altreiter and chaplain Daniel Weber are part of the organization team and emphasize the importance of supporting these women and their families.

solidarity for pregnant women

The "Life Action" has devoted itself to the topic of pregnancy advice and support for mothers. Donations are also urgently needed to finance these crucial offers, as Martina Kronthaler, the general secretary of "Life Life Austria", emphasizes. She points out that the organization is dependent on donations solely in order to maintain its advisory activities for pregnant women and expectant fathers. The consultations themselves are free of charge and offer an important point of contact for women in emergencies.

The solidarity campaign, which was launched around the international "Day of Life" on June 1, invites Pfarren to participate. You can request free hands-on packages that contain materials for services and donations. With a small contribution during the services, visitors can help finance sustainable surprises. Prominent support also comes in the form of actress Susanna Hirschler and retired judge Prof. Eduard Strauss, who also campaign for the campaign.

confidential birth

An important aspect of support for women in need is also the possibility to take a confidential birth. The Help phone for pregnant women offers information on this, where women can learn how to protect their identity at birth. The consultants who are at your side are legally obliged to secure, which offers enormous support for many women.

In the Archdiocese of Salzburg, the “Week for Life” is also organized, which draws attention to the topic with a service and other events. These actions show how important mutual support and solidarity are in society, especially in challenging life situations. It remains to be hoped that further communities will follow this good example and to make themselves strong for pregnant women in need.
