Teddy Bär Sunday: 200 cuddly toys bring joy in margaret!

In the Kellerkirche Sankt John the Baptist in Vienna-Margareten, the now traditional “Teddy Bär Sunday” took place on June 1, 2025. On this special day, more than 200 cuddly toys brought their little owners to the Sunday mass. The event has developed into a loving tradition that not only brings joy to young visitors, but should also help children in need in difficult life situations. As katholisch.de this was already the fifth teddy campaign of the parish.

The cuddly toys were largely bought by parishioners, matching the festive atmosphere with lovingly hand -sewn loops. The fluffy friends took a seat in the church benches during the service, and after the fair, photos were taken that recorded the charming sight. The special concern of this event is the support of the children in the single parent project "Juno", which is also highlighted by

Particularly charming at this event is that the teddy bears act not only as objects, but as an ambassador of the community. They were attached to them by the hard -working helpers of the community, so that each single bear has their own note to show the large heart of the community. "A personal note makes the teddies something special", emphasizes In addition, the donors were able to pay a small fee of 10 euros for each teddy donated to finance the teddies. The support came from the ranks of the community, where community members made their contribution and thus helped others. This created a wonderful connection between the big and small ones, which at the end of the day not only caused many teddys, but also countless smiles.
