In Vienna, they attract young people with disco music and superficial chatter into the Church. At the end, the consecrated breadcrumbs were swept together. On the 20 Jan, the 'Catholic Youth' of Vienna organised a Disco Mass in the municipality of Eibesthal.

Eibesthal is a suburb of the town of Mistelbach. It is fifty kilometers northeast of Vienna.
Two priests and two lay assistants presided over the Mass.
The two lay people at the altar were called Pamela (14) and Manuel.
About 1,000 young people were driven to the Disco Mass in Weinviertel driven. The church was full up.
The Mass was dedicated according to the organizer, to a "special issue". This was "Not typical!"
Pamela gave youthful thoughts as a slogan: "Certainly, someone has accused you of something. But probably something nice was not meant. "
The content of the Mass dealt with role stereotypes between men and women. The churchgoers decided how deep-rooted role models are.
The sermon was given by the four presiders together. According to the press release, this earned them many laughs: "what is not fitting, what to parents and grandparents is just too much: tattoos and piercings in certain locations, for example!"
The 14 year old Pamela encouraged the youngsters, to go "your way", "If you choose from inner conviction, God is with you!"
Manuel also told the youngsters not to let themselves be forced into classical roles. At the end of the Mass, youngsters were give a mirror as a gift. "If you look into it, you shall remember to be typically 'DU' " – according to Manuel (Du-familiar form in German of you).
In the guestbook, some praised the Disco Mass as "absolutely cool."
18-year-old Maria is not against the Disco Masses: "But I find the whole thing is appropriate for Bible reading services, but not necessarily suitable for Mass."
As is usual for the Vienna Rock Masses, the priest consecrated pieces of crumbly bread instead of wafers. But that was rather beside the point.
