“Silent Advent” officially opened

On Saturday, the “silent Advent” celebrated the opening in front of the backdrop of the Mariendom, musically framed by Collegium Vocale Linz under the direction of Joseph Habringer.

bishop Manfred Scheuer described Advent in his opening speech as a time that touches the heart and when it is important to enjoy life with all your senses and strength. “May we experience that as we empathize, as we share life, it is uplifting and enriching, as we empathize with others,” he said.

For Social Provincial Council Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer (VP) should remind the Advent season that “most of us are doing well despite all the challenges and that we also have an obligation and responsibility towards the people who need our help.” With the Deputy Mayor of Linz Karin Hoerzing (SP) was very happy about the new Advent market as a supplement to the existing offer in the city.

The program of “Advent am Dom” is colorful and diverse, and Caritas is one of the people involved. For their director Franz Kehrer the commitment of Caritas is an “important and good opportunity to get into conversation with people” and to give hope again to those who are lonely.
