Pastor Thaddäus Biernacki is retiring - farewell to Bernbeuren!
In a moving ceremony, the parish community of Bernbeuren, Burggen, Tannenberg and Ingenried said goodbye to its long -time pastor Thaddäus Biernacki, who retired after seven years. His new home will be Biessenhofen in the Ostallgäu district. Mayor Karl Schleich paid tribute to the good cooperation, while Manfred Karlinger remembered shared experiences such as Georgiritt. Despite his request for a modest farewell, the warm farewell to the community was felt.
"Health in retirement" wished Sabine Hipp, while the church choir and the Bernbeurer music band provided the musical accompaniment of the service. In his sermon, Biernacki reflected on his time in the seminar and thanked for the many experiences during his pastoral care. He handed over his successor, Michael Hans Schmid, who will be installed on September 1st. The community also has reason to be happy, because on October 18, the 300th anniversary of the parish church of St. Nikolaus, including an organ concert and an exhibition on church history.
renovation of the rectory
The renovation should create a clear separation between the parish office and the pastor's private rooms. Each floor of the rectory has an area of around 170 square meters. While the ground floor includes office space and a meeting room, the apartment of the new clergyman will be built on the first floor and the apartment for a housekeeper and an archive on the second floor. The problem with rising moisture could also be remedied by structural measures such as the installation of a horizontal lock.
commitment in the municipality
An important part of community life is ensured by the parish council (PGR). This actively supports pastoral care and represents the diversity of people within the community. The PGR has set itself the goal of actively shaping community life through various committees and having an eye on the four pillars of pastoral care - liturgy, diakonia, proclamation and community. The commitment of these committees shows how important it is to accompany people in their worries and joys and to strengthen the church as a place of community.
The great commitment and the changes in the parish are symbolically for the living community in Bernbeuren, which not only relies on tradition, but also bravely looks into the future. Pastor Biernacki's farewell is only part of a larger change that shapes the parish community.
