The monastery has to close – the last missionaries are now packing their suitcases

Date:

More and more monasteries are closing their doors. The last residents of the mission house in the Tyrolean Absam (Innsbruck Land district) also have to say goodbye. That is not easy, because it is a story that has been going on for over a hundred years and is now coming to an end.

It is quiet in the big house, the hallways are empty, many rooms are no longer heated. It is difficult to imagine that around sixty students, priests and religious came and went for weddings here. That was a long time ago. Today, only seven missionaries live here, such as the members of the religious community “St. Joseph’s Missionaries of Mill Hill.

On January 20, the seven men finally closed the door behind them and left their old house.
