At 62 square miles, the Principality of Liechtenstein is one of the smallest nations in the world. It is also the wealthiest per capita. A landlocked alpine country, Liechtenstein can easily remind its visitors how kings and queens once ruled Europe. With close ties to both Austria and Switzerland, Liechtenstein is an amalgamation of both yet remains fiercely independent. Welcome to a true 21st century kingdom.
A pilgrimage or missions trip to Liechtenstein is a unique journey indeed. You will not only explore this tiny nation but you will take some amazing day trips as well. Visit a monastery town in Switzerland, hike in the Austrian mountains, and visit Germany’s Black Forest. A Liechtenstein pilgrimage will celebrate God’s great diversity in the world.
Monestary St Elisabeth – We are “Adorers of the Blood of Christ” (Adoratrices Sanguinis Christi – ASC) – an international and multicultural Catholic religious order, founded in 1834 in Acuto – a small mountain village southeast of Rome. We consecrate ourselves to God through our vows. We draw strength from the open existence in prayer. We live in community and let us enrich us through them and challenge. We pass on to everyone what we have received ourselves.

Roman Catholic Christianity
The Roman Catholic Church is the official national religion of Liechtenstein, and 75.9% of its total population adheres to the faith. The constitution of Lichtenstein declared the Roman Catholic Church as the official state church and is protected entirely by the government. The Archdiocese of Vaduz was built in 1997. The Roman Catholic Church doctrines teach that it is one true church established by Jesus Christ, and the church leaders are the continuation of His disciples. The church believes that there is only one God, and He exists in three states namely God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Women’s Monastery
Protestant Christianity
In Liechtenstein, 8.5% of the population are Protestant Christians, the continuation of a global movement that had its origins in nearby Germany around the year 1517. The Protestant Church is a Christian faith and the followers rely heavily on the Bible as the ultimate source of knowledge, and refer to it as the “Word of God”. Protestants do not accept the Pope as the leader of the church, nor accept the Catholic Church’s doctrine of “transubstantiation”. Members are initiated into the belief system by baptism.

Religious Freedom And Diversity
Liechtenstein is also home to smaller numbers of atheists, Orthodox Christians, Buddhists, and Jews. These religions exist together in harmony together with those who subscribe to any religion. The state of Liechtenstein guarantees the freedom of religion to its citizens and collaborates with them in different programs in the country.
Conclusion
Liechtenstein is a small, landlocked country located in the Alpine region of Europe. As of 2002, 83.9% of Liechtenstein’s population is Christian. In terms of religious demographics, 76% are Catholic, 7% are Protestant, 4.2% follow Islam, 0.8% follow Orthodox Christianity, and 12% are either nonreligious or adherents of other faiths. In Liechtenstein, 44% of Muslims, 23% of Catholic Christians, and 24% of non-Catholic Christians regularly participate in weekly religious services.
The Catholic Church, as written in the Constitution of Liechtenstein, is the official state religion of Liechtenstein.
The constitution declares that the Catholic Church is “the State Church and as such shall enjoy the full protection of the State.” Liechtenstein offers protection to adherents of all religious beliefs, and considers the “religious interests of the people” a priority of the government. In Liechtenstein schools, although exceptions are allowed, religious education in Catholicism or Protestantism is legally required.
