The Catholic airport chaplaincy has been at Frankfurt Airport for 50 years. We would like to offer people who are traveling by rail and air or work here permanently, a sense of trust. Do you need help, orientation or comfort? We at the Catholic airport chaplaincy are there for you.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of origin, skin color, religious conviction or sexual orientation. We do not proselytise, but try to help you within the scope of our possibilities.
Focal points of our work
- Chaplaincy for travellers and airport employees
- Chaplaincy for refugees, support in deportation monitoring

Currently the Holy Mass is celebrated 10:00 a.m. on Sundays and Solemnities.
Catholic mass and holy communion
Furthermore, you also have the opportunity to attend a Catholic Mass and receive Communion with us. The services are usually celebrated in German language. In the case of larger foreign-language groups, it is possible to celebrate part of the mass in English. Feel free to speak to the priest before mass.

Registered groups have the opportunity to use the chapel for their own devotions and church services. We are also available to airport visitors who would like information about the airport chaplaincy. Please inform us in advance:
- when you would like to use the chapel,
- whether you would like to bring your own priest or would like the airport chaplain,
- whether you need access to the sacristy and mass utensils..
