In Dankbarkeit und Verbundenheit: Festgottesdienst f\u00fcr Abt Gerhard zum 62. Geburtstag<\/h2>\n\n

Ein besonderer Anlass, gepr\u00e4gt von Dankbarkeit, Wertsch\u00e4tzung und gelebter Gemeinschaft: der Festgottesdienst f\u00fcr Abt Gerhard Hafner OSB. Damit beging die Stiftsgemeinschaft des Benediktinerstiftes Admont den 62. Geburtstag ihres Abtes.<\/p>\n\n

Prior Gerwig Romirer OSB (Stift St. Lambrecht) zelebrierte die Heilige Messe. Die Sch\u00fclerinnen und Sch\u00fcler des Admont Abbey Grammar School<\/a> gestalteten sie dabei musikalisch festlich. Mit ihrem Mitwirken verliehen sie dem Festgottesdienst einen ebenso w\u00fcrdigen wie ber\u00fchrenden Rahmen.<\/p>\n\n

Im Mittelpunkt der Feier f\u00fcr Abt Gerhard stand zun\u00e4chst der Dank f\u00fcr sein bisheriges Wirken. Vor allem aber galten die guten W\u00fcnsche seinem weiteren Lebensweg und seinem verantwortungsvollen Dienst an der Spitze unserer Klostergemeinschaft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
