Heart of Jesus Procession (Herz-Jesu-Prozession)
 Weerberg inhabitants always had a strong relation to the blessed Heart of Jesus.
According to a chronicle dated 1875, there were at that time, two Hearts of Jesus confraternities, a big and a little one.The mission priest Josef Mandl from America unified both groups and created a unique confraternity. In this occasion the celebrations took place on Heart of Jesus-Friday and correspond to our modern Heart of Jesus-festivity. For this reason Weerberg is the only place in Tyrol where the Heart of Jesus feast is celebrated every year on a Friday (next time 23.06.2006) according to the ancient Tyrolese solemn pledge of 1796 and 1809. Personalities and delegations come from the whole Tyrol to attend this feast. |
