Nightfever: la osadía de abrir una iglesia de noche invitando a los viandantes a la confesión y adoración
In brief
Nightfever opens central churches at night to invite passersby to prayer and confession. The apostolate began in Cologne, Germany, following the 2005 World Youth Day.
Students Andreas Süß and Katharina Fassler founded the movement to ensure the spiritual experiences of the World Youth Day continued beyond the specific event. The initiative involves opening a church in a central location during the night hours. Participants display the Blessed Sacrament in a setting with dim lighting and music to create an atmosphere for prayer. Volunteers go out into the streets to invite people walking by to enter the church, light a candle, and spend time in prayer.
