Peter Pitzinger excellent: a fighter for Lower Austria's families!

The chairman of the Catholic Family Association of the Diocese of St. Pölten, Dr. Peter Pitzinger, recently awarded the golden honor for services to the state of Lower Austria. He was awarded this honor by the Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner in order to honor his commitment to families and Christian values. Pitzinger, who is also active at global Family and performs church seminars for newlyweds with his wife, is passionate about the concerns of families. His main concerns include freedom of choice in childcare and the promotion of joy in family gatherings, as reported by the Catholic Press (Cape).

In an interview with the church newspaper "Church Bunt", Pitzinger also expressed his view of the political support for families. He praised measures such as the family bonus and the security of the family allowance, which has been great progress in family policy in recent years. These measures are crucial to create justice for families with children who represent an essential pillar of society. It is particularly important to him to create a network for young families so that they cannot stand and experience support alone, be it through breastfeeding and crawling groups in the parishes or other initiatives that promote the exchange of knowledge and experiences, continues Pitzinger.

Family -friendly forms of care in focus

Pitzinger also criticized the current orientation of the care system, which is often more geared towards economic needs than that of families. Mothers often want to stay with their children for a few years without pressure and money worries. Therefore, the family association calls for increased promotion of family -like forms of care such as childminders and leihomas. In addition, Pitzinger supports the expansion of institutional childcare, provided that the quality and freedom of choice are guaranteed for parents. These approaches are central demands of the Catholic Family Association, which acts as a significant voice for families in the political landscape, as was emphasized in the church newspaper.

With numerous member campaigns, including free tax advice for families and networking with other family organizations, Pitzinger aims to significantly increase the number of members of the association and thus form a stronger lobby for the concerns of families. The commitment of Pitzinger and his team aims to actively tackle the challenges in front of which families are facing and to focus on the needs of this central social unit.
