Celebration of the Marian Congregation: A festival of hope in Hall!

Hall, Österreich - On December 8, 2024, the Marian Congregation (MK) celebrated its main festival in Hall on the occasion of the Catholic festival of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The official festival service took place in the Franziskanergymnasium under the direction of brother Rene Dorer, who acted as the main celebrant. The yearbook 2024 was presented during the celebrations, published by honorary member Harald de Zottis. The yearbook documents, among other things, the membership and special milestones of the community, which in its over 400-year history is repeatedly faced with trend towards weaker offspring. Despite a decline in the number of visitors, there was a gratifying cooperation with the student connection "Sternkorona" this year, which integrated its foundation festival into the main festival, which attracted a significant number of guests from Tyrol, Salzburg and the Innviertel

statistics on the risk of poverty

In the context of the poverty situation in Tyrol, according to the EU-Silc data from 2019 to 2021, around 100,479 people are at risk of poverty, which corresponds to a rate of 13.5%. These people do not reach the defined threshold income of 15,943 euros annually. Individual households are particularly affected with 27.4%, followed by people without gainful employment (21.4%) and older people over 65 years (21.8%). The data also show that people with a migration background have an increased risk of poverty of 22.9%. In Tyrol, another 2.8% of the population are considered to be a manifesto, which underlines the urgency of support for these endangered groups. The medium -sized household income in Tyrol is a little above the Austria cut at 39,496 euros.

The results illustrate a significant inequality in the distribution of income within society. The richest 20 % of the population have a disproportionately higher proportion of the entire incomes compared to the poorest 20 %, which indicates a clear need for combating poverty. The numbers on the groups at risk of poverty and the available income, supplemented by the current celebration of the MK, show that these topics are of outstanding importance for the community and the poorer layers, not least with regard to social participation, as well as tirol.gv.at analyzed.
