Diocesan development process

On November 29, 2015, development areas were defined for all parishes in the Archdiocese of Vienna. The parishes should work more closely together in the development areas, form parish associations or pastoral care rooms. At the end of the process, new parishes should emerge from the development areas. The following development rooms have been defined in the Mödling dean's office:

• Brunn am Gebirge, Hinterbrühl and Maria Enzersdorf-Zum Heiligen Geist
• Mödling-Herz Jesu, Mödling-St. Othmar and Wiener Neudorf
  • Subunit 1: Mödling-Herz Jesu and Mödling-St. Othmar
  • Subunit 2: Wiener Neudorf
• Gumpoldskirchen, Guntramsdorf-St. Jakobus, Guntramsdorf-St. Josef and Münchendorf
• Achau, Biedermannsdorf and Laxenburg

The restructuring will take effect on September 1, 2020.
