Feast of Saint Hedwig of Silesia — October 16
16 October 2027
The feast of Saint Hedwig of Silesia, patroness of the region and of the Archdiocese of Berlin, falls on 16 October. St. Hedwig’s Cathedral in Berlin, its cornerstone laid in 1747 and consecrated in 1773, carries her name into a city she never saw — Prussia’s first Catholic church built after the Reformation, raised for the Catholics Frederick the Great inherited along with newly conquered Silesia, her own homeland.
