Public Worship Services in Melk Abbey to resume again
As of Pentecost/Whitsunday (May 31, 2020) public worship services will take place in Melk Abbey again. For Abbot Georg and the monastic community of Melk Abbey it has been a matter of great importance that public worship services can be resumed, as an essential step in the gradual re-opening of Melk Abbey which also includes the abbey school, cultural and touristic activities, as well as the abbey portal. As a result of the abbey’s step-by-step plan which requires careful consideration of each of these different areas, public worship services will start again as of May 31, 2020. All forms of public access to Melk Abbey remain within the limits of current government regulations and are thus constantly being adapted, in accordance to any changes in official regulations.  It is now planned that the following provisions will be in effect until the end of June.  more ...
