The charter
The churches that wish to enter the project "Open and welcoming churches" undertake to do so:
- Open the church to the visitors in a meaningful way, according to a schedule that suits their availabilities.
- To equip the church for the reception with brochures about the church, information about the parish life, a guest book and also to create a hospitable atmosphere (e.g. flowers, background music).
- If necessary, to provide volunteers for the reception during opening hours and to train them.
- To keep a complete inventory of the valuable objects that are part of the patrimony and to secure these objects.
- Open the church during the Open Churches Days on Saturdays or Sundays from 10am to 6pm at least.
- The affiliated church may use the "Open Churches" logo for promotion or to guide visitors to the church. The logo is a registered trademark and may only be used in that form.
