Christian Organization for the Pastoral Care of Circus- and Carnival Workers. http://int-council.kath-css.de/ ''How to worship on a carnival ride''. It is not uncommon, here in Europe, to have a Service on Circus grounds or Fair locations (typically a ride). There's even a dedicated department for the spiritual needs of the Carnival- and Circus Workers. The people of the circus and entertainment, contrary to popular impressions, are profoundly religious and they look to the Church for their spiritual needs. For centuries their profession accompanied Christian festivals, as is demonstrated by the fact that most of their activity takes place near the church, on the occasion of religious holidays. Despite the presence of circus and fair people in Catholic environments, the hours of their work and singular mobility withdraw them from the ordinary activity of parish priests and their contact with the parish, for motives of a pastoral nature, often remains sporadic and not easily inserted in the plan for Christian formation and systematic catechesis. Therefore it is necessary to formulate a pastoral plan which takes their needs into account. Pastoral care for circus and fair people can find significant and strong stimulus from the family. Their families, in fact, in the sacramental rhythms that involve them - from the celebration of Baptism, to First Communion and Confirmation of the children to Marriage - can be the first and elementary place for that journey of faith and evangelization of which the ecclesial community of the parish must be the bearer, through the chaplain. In this "domestic Church" and through it, the chaplain plays his role of "ministry of presence" devoted to interpersonal relationships. There are then moments reserved for the entire community such and Eucharistic Celebrations under the circus tent and on particular occasions and the administration of the Sacraments. It is the task of the local Church to take the opportunity of a feast day to transmit to circus and fair people the Christian message and at the same time to educate the Christian community to accept them without prejudice, with confidence and with esteem for the human and Christian qualities of which they are the bearers.
