Kath. Kirchengemeinde St. Sebastian und Rochus

The Rochuskirche in Vienna is an important Roman Catholic parish church in Vienna's 3rd district, Landstraße. It bears the patronage of Saints Rochus and Sebastian and is a cultural and spiritual center of the city.

The church was built from 1642 on the site of an earlier Rupertikapelle and rebuilt in the Baroque style after its destruction by the Ottomans in 1683. The facade, completed in 1721, is an impressive example of Baroque architecture with magnificent sculptures by Georg Anton Eberl[1][3].

The Rochuskirche offers a variety of spiritual services, including the celebration of Holy Mass, confession and other religious ceremonies. Pastoral care has been provided since 1979 by the Oratory of St. Philipp Neri, which is committed to a deeper spiritual connection and community[1][2].

The main mission of the Rochuskirche is to provide a spiritual home for the community and to promote the values of charity and faith. It attaches great importance to the preservation of tradition and the promotion of dialogue between faith and modernity.

Although specific sustainability goals are not explicitly mentioned, the Rochuskirche contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage through its extensive renovations and conservation measures. The church is also involved in promoting community and social cohesion through its diverse activities.

The Rochuskirche is not only a religious center, but also a cultural treasure that enriches the history and architecture of Vienna. It offers visitors the opportunity to relax and reflect in a spiritual and historical environment.
