A day of thanks for the beneficial work of our abbot<\/h5>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

On 25 January <\/strong>the election day of our Most Reverend Abbot was celebrated during the church service. Since the year 2017 Abbot Mag. Gerhard Hafner OSB<\/strong> Admont Benedictine Abbey and has characterised the spiritual and communal life of our house ever since.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

To mark the occasion, a solemn Holy Mass was held at 10:00 a.m. in Admont Abbey Church - organised by the Admont Male Choir - to which many of the faithful were cordially invited. Many people accepted the invitation and gathered to pray together on this special day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sermon was given by Provost Markus Grasl CanReg from Reichersberg Abbey,<\/strong> who emphasised the election day with his words and encouraged us to be grateful and look to the future with confidence.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The solemnity of the liturgy and the palpable solidarity of the many celebrants made this election day a particularly worthy and touching moment. The community's lived faith became visible and tangible in the communal prayer and attentive celebration.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This day thus became a sign of gratitude for the work of our Most Reverend Abbot to date and a strengthening for the future path together.<\/p>\n
