New course in pastoral care: 15 municipalities form strong unit!

Freistadt, Österreich - The Catholic parishes in the Freistadt district experience a significant change: a comprehensive structure process is founded in a comprehensive structure of the district, which is led by Klemens Hofmann from Neumarkt, Markus Woda from St. Oswald and Wolfgang Roth from Freistadt. This reorganization is intended to help optimize pastoral care in the region. "In the new parish, the collaboration of the 15 parishes can save resources, use synergies and thus improve the quality of pastoral care," said Hofmann enthusiastically and emphasized the advantages of this cooperation, as Meinzirk.at reported.

The management team is made up of experienced personalities: Hofmann will act as a pastor while Woda takes over the economic issues and acts Roth as a pastoral board. This team structure promotes collective decision -making, as Woda emphasizes: "The exciting thing about this concept is that there is a team situation." The aim is to have the ear among people and to put church work more strongly in the hands of the parish population. These initiatives are also intended to secure the local presence of the church in the villages, which Roth considers extremely important.

changes and historical influences

The redesign is not only a current challenge, but also part of a long tradition that is anchored in the history of the church. Saint Gregor of Nazi, an important church teacher of the 4th century, became known for his deserved insights into the role of the church and was always concerned about the well -being of the communities. He once said: "The troubled business harms the communities." These thoughts still seem to be relevant today and reflect the efforts to create the best and useful environment for the faithful by redesigning the parish structure. This is also shown by the importance of the construction of stable and jointly oriented structures in today's church landscape, as dioezese-linz.at reports.
