The renovated giant organ in St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna was solemnly consecrated on Sunday. Cardinal Christoph Schönborn took the opportunity to promote compliance with the crown measures.

At the consecration of the recently renovated giant organ at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna on Sunday, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn promoted the enforcement of crown protection measures in churches. At the end of the mass, he thanked the believers in the place for wearing the protective masks throughout the service, according to “kathpress.”

Giant organ sounded recently renovated in St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna

The gigantic organ, which after a quarter of a century had been paused to sound newly renovated, was solemnly consecrated on Sunday.

At the end of the consecration service, Schönborn addressed the pandemic: “Thank you for your willingness to show mutual consideration and discipline; without these measures, it would currently be irresponsible to celebrate worship together,” the archbishop of Vienna said according to “kathpress”. “But where this is successful, it is still possible – it really depends on us,” warned the cardinal to discipline.

Crown measures in Catholic churches

In the Catholic Church, as in other places of worship of churches and religious communities, mouth and nose protection must be worn throughout public service from September 21. In Catholic churches, there is still a minimum distance of one meter from people with whom you do not live in the same household. The obligation to maintain a minimum distance does not apply “if this requires the performance of religious acts”, such as the dispensation of the sacraments.
