Theater competition in Carinthia: A piece full of hope wanted!

Klagenfurt, Österreich - In Klagenfurt, an exciting theater competition is launched by the Diocese of Gurk to do justice to the leading word of the Holy Year - "Pilgrims of Hope". The competition entitled "A piece full of hope" is looking for a spectacle that conveys confidence and courage. Theater groups from Carinthia have the opportunity to adapt an existing work or create a piece of their own. The highlight? The performance should be released with even more hope than it has arrived at the performance, as the diocese announced on Tuesday. For the top three pieces, prize money from a total of 10,000 euros: 5,000 euros for first place, 3,000 euros for the second and 2,000 euros for third place. A theater group from the bilingual area of Carinthia is also considered with a prize, as it is said in the competitive conditions. Interested groups have to apply until March 30, whereby the piece should take between 30 and 60 minutes. The winning performance takes place in the ballroom of the diocesan house in Klagenfurt, with appointments until the end of November, such as Kathpress reported .

last yearbook of the diocese published

In another important step, the Gurk diocese published the 48th and last yearbook. After almost five decades of the publication series, which includes the terms of five popes and four diocesan bishops, electronic media is now being switched. Matthias Kapeller, who has headed the yearbook for 30 years, explained that the last yearbook entitled "Sources of Hope" contains important contributions from renowned authors. These address the relevance of a contemporary proclamation of the Christian faith, especially in the context of synodal church development. Bishop Josef Marketz emphasized the need for new formats to adequately announce belief, such as Krone reported . This year book marks a turning point in the communication strategy of the diocese, which will increasingly rely on digital platforms in the future.
