Cardinal Schönborn Receives Star Singers: "Great Act of Solidarity"

The Archbishop of Vienna received four Star Singers from the Inzersdorf-St. Nicholas parish on behalf of the total 85,000 children and young people who, as Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar, will go from house to house from today until January 6. Last year, 19.5 million euros were collected.

Schönborn thanked the children and young people for their commitment and the donors for their annual support. This has made the Epiphany campaign not only the largest donation initiative in Austria over the past 70 years, but also a "very large act of solidarity" and an overall "pleasing moment for our country".

On his travels, he has repeatedly been able to see the fruits of this solidarity in the form of projects all over the world, reported the Cardinal, who himself wants to go along with a group on January 6.
