Admont Abbey Election day of our abbot 40

Election day of our Abbot Gerhard Hafner OSB.

Election day of our Abbot Gerhard Hafner OSB.

Tuesday, 25 January 2022

On 25 January 2022, the feast of the Conversion of the Apostle Paul, our Abbot Gerhard Hafner OSB celebrates his election day. Exactly five years ago, the monks of the Benedictine Abbey of Admont elected him as the 68th abbot and father of the community. In keeping with tradition, the provost of the Augustinian monastery of Reichersberg, Prelate Markus Grasl CanReg, presided over the festive service today. Pupils from our Stiftsgymnasium provided the festive music for the service, which was attended by numerous Christians from our parishes and abbey staff. 

We wish our abbot all the best and thank him for his service. Or as Provost Markus put it in his sermon: "By electing an abbot, a community sets itself a direction. And this direction has a goal: life with God."
