Mai 2024 zum interimistischen Administrator des Benediktinerstiftes St. Paul im Lavanttal ernannt. Seine Amtszeit l\u00e4uft dabei bis Anfang 2026. Der bisherige Administrator, P. Marian Kollmann OSB, hat n\u00e4mlich aus pers\u00f6nlichen Gr\u00fcnden sein Amt als Oberer des Klosters zur\u00fcckgelegt. Daher hat Abt Mag. Johannes Perkmann OSB in seiner Funktion als Abtpr\u00e4ses der \u00f6sterreichischen Benediktinerkongregation nach Beschluss des Kongregationspr\u00e4sidiums einen neuen Leiter der Abtei ernannt und Abt Mag. Gerhard Hafner OSB vom Benediktinerstift Admont mit dieser Aufgabe bis Anfang 2026 betraut. Bei seinen Leitungsaufgaben und in der Doppelrolle als Abt des Stiftes Admont und Administrator des Stiftes St. Paul unterst\u00fctzt den 59-J\u00e4hrigen dabei sein Prior MMag. Dr. P. Maximilian Schieferm\u00fcller OSB.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-m\">Abbot President Johannes Perkmann: \"I would like to thank Abbot Gerhard Hafner for taking on the role of administrator at the Benedictine Abbey of St Paul. His most important tasks will be to preside over the confreres as their superior, to accompany them and to seek ways for the future with all those involved.\"<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-m\">Abbot Gerhard Hafner: \"I see the interim administration of St Paul's Abbey as a service to the community there. Together with my prior, I will try to clarify in discussions with the monks how their future as a monastic community can be organised. To prevent any rumours: my monastery in Admont will not take over St. Paul's Abbey in any way, neither in terms of personnel nor financially.\"<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading-m\">Abbot Gerhard Hafner<\/h3>\n<p class=\"paragraph-m\">Abt Gerhard Hafner wurde 1964 im steirischen Trieben geboren. Er studierte Theologie in Graz und empfing 1990 die Priesterweihe. Danach trat er 1994 in das Benediktinerstift Admont ein und legte schlie\u00dflich 1999 seine Feierliche Profess ab.
