Remembering Together, Mourning and Finding Comfort
When a beloved person dies, memories, gratitude, and longing for closeness remain. The memorial service at the Catholic Heilig-Kreuz Church Mainz opens a protected space for the grieving and invites them to remember the deceased with dignity.
A Service for Deceased from Hospice and Palliative Care
The focus is on the deceased from the palliative wards of the Marienhaus Hospital Mainz and University Medicine Mainz, the Christophorus Hospice Mainz, as well as those who were accompanied by the Outpatient Hospice and Palliative Care Service Mainz. The celebration combines Christian liturgy, prayer, and personal remembrance.
Space for Personal Memories
The memorial service is aimed at family members, friends, and all those connected to a deceased person. In the calm atmosphere of the Heilig-Kreuz Church, mourning, gratitude, and farewell receive their own space. Words, silence, and communal prayer create a spiritual community where no one has to be alone with their grief.
Pastoral Care and Joint Remembrance
The event is part of the tradition of recurring memorial celebrations of the Mainz hospice and palliative care facilities. Comparable celebrations have been jointly organized by palliative wards, hospice services, and hospital chaplaincy, providing family members with space for comfort, remembrance, and personal conversations. Thus, the religious experience is complemented by human and pastoral support.

The Catholic Heilig-Kreuz Church is located in the Mainz upper city and is a special place for worship, reflection, and community. The church is located at Weichselstraße 60 and is accessible by public transport. The venue offers a dignified setting for this memorial service.
Conclusion
