The annual conference on altar server pastoralia which is organised by the AfJ (Office for Youth Ministry of the German Bishops´ Conference) took place in Aachen from 2 to 4 May. Guests from Bosnia-Herzegowina, Denmark, France, Norway, Great Britain, Austria and the Netherlands met with representatives from the different German dioceses in order to discuss the European dimension of altar server pastoralia.

The conference aimed at supporting the exchange on different national experiences. The participants took advantage of the conference to make contacts, develop first ideas on common projects and collect suggestions on possible future cooperation. As a result of the fruitful and enriching exchange the participants agreed on meeting regularly with European guests. The Office for Youth Ministry will now try to make a proposal on the future organization of a regular meeting with a European dimension.
