Haematology Day 2022

Admont Abbey Solemnity of St Hemma of Gurk 2022 2

Hemma Sunday (26 June) and Hemma Day 2022 (Monday, 27 June)

We Admonters look with humble pride to St Hemma of Gurk, who laid the economic foundations for the founding of our monastery many hundreds of years ago.

From the abbot's sermon: "We are proud that a woman stood at the beginning of our monastery history, St Hemma of Gurk: growing in the Christian faith and doing good."
