Other guests at the celebration were parish assistant Josef Rathmaier and mayor Barbara Payreder, who together emphasized the importance of gratitude in today's world.

Focus on fighting poverty
The problem of poverty in Austria was once again brought into the spotlight. The BILLA fundraising campaign, which is being held for the third time, starts under the motto “A donation that fills you up”.
