Ceremonial opening of the Dechanthof in Hallein on January 10th!

On Friday, January 10th, the Dechanthof in Hallein will be ceremoniously opened after the extensive renovation and renovation work has been completed. This initiative was launched by the archdiocese, the city parish and the parish association. The premises can be visited from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and will in future offer space for the parish office, a parish hall, the church amount, a learning café and a toddler group of the St. Erentrudis Foundation. The accommodation of the “Safehome” women's shelter from Caritas is particularly important, as the previous women's shelter "Haus Mirjam" was closed a few years ago. The work was carried out under the project control of Heimat Austria and were successfully completed in November of last year, such as meindezirk.at reported .

meaning of the parish church

The opening of the Dechanthof is not only a local event, but is also in conjunction with the history of the parish church. These churches have a special independence in the city and often represent their political importance, since it is a central place for community life. The parish church is considered the main church of the city and plays an important role - especially in Hallein, where it also forms the basis for the new parish center. These churches are common in Austria, Switzerland and southern Germany and thus point to a long tradition that extends to the present, such as wikipedia explains .
