NovemberLicht: Out of the Shadows into the Light
NovemberLicht at St Stephen’s Cathedral
Holy Mass for people with ME/CFS
This November, NovemberLicht stands with people living with ME/CFS. At the same time, we want to move forward the research that is so urgently needed.
On Saturday 14 November 2026, Toni Faber, priest of St Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, will celebrate Holy Mass for people with ME/CFS for the second time. The service is dedicated to hope and togetherness.
Many people with ME/CFS are too ill to make it to the cathedral. For them, and for everyone who cannot come to Vienna, the Mass will be streamed live.
Prof. Julius Berger and Hyun-Jung Berger will accompany the Mass on cello. Young people from South Tyrol will read from the book NovemberLicht.
Join us in the cathedral or from home. Let us light a candle together for everyone living with ME/CFS at home, so they know:
You are not forgotten.
You are not alone.
When: Saturday 14 November 2026, 12 noon
