Luxembourg is a predominantly Catholic country and as such, many of the public holidays such as Octave and Toussaint follow the Christian religious calendar. However it is a tolerant society in which people of other religions, including humanists and atheists, co-exist peacefully.
If you’ve just arrived and want to find your nearest church, temple, mosque, synagogue, Buddhist centre or Quaker meeting place, here’s a list of all the places of worship in Luxembourg.
Catholic
You can find a list of all the Catholic churches in the Grand Duchy by parish here. Each parish may contain several churches. Often, weekend or daily mass is shared among the churches, as you can see from this link to the Mamerdell parish, which also has a monthly mass in English, although generally mass is given in Luxembourgish, German or French.
Some village churches do not hold regular services, except for specific occasions such as Christmas or All Saints Day when local families will visit the gravesides of relatives. In addition you’ll find pilgrimages for Octave (Notre Dame Cathedral in the city), The dancing or hopping procession (Echternach Abbey) and the Notre Dame de Fatima pilgrimage in Wiltz for Ascension.
English-speaking mass is normally held at the Church Saint Alphonse in the old town of the city. However due to renovation works at the church, you should check their website for details on where mass will be held on a weekly basis.
