Bishop Klaus Krämer: New President of the International League of League!
Pannonhalma, Ungarn - March 12, 2025 will be entered into history as an important day for the International Ministry Association (CIM). The Catholic Bishop of Rottenburg-Stuttgart, Klaus Krämer, was elected as the new president as part of the annual general assembly in the Hungarian Arch Abbey Pannonhalma. As the German Bishops' Conference announced, he succeeds the Luxembourg Archbishop Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, who led the association for six years. The CIM, which was founded in 1960, combines worldwide through altar server groups and organizes international pilgrimages to promote this community.
a strong guide with experience
Bishop Krämer, the 67-year-old, brings extensive experience from international church projects, including the management of the children's mission “Die Sternsinger” and the Missio aid organization in Aachen. He sees his new role as an opportunity to further expand the CIM platform and to strengthen the connection between young people in the church. "This service connects young people around the world," said Krämer after his election. It is important to create spaces in which faith can grow, especially in times when such communities are required.
It is particularly noteworthy that during the term of his predecessor Hollerich, the last major international pilgrimage took place in the summer of 2024, in which around 50,000 altar servers took part, including over 3,000 from Austria. These events play a central role in the exchange of pastoral practical concepts and in the networking of religious engagement, such as reported.Krämer, and it remains to be seen how he will implement his visions in the CIM while the World Church is in a constant change.
