Life

Parhamer promoted school attendance among the townspeople and, above all, religious instruction. He wrote catechisms and expanded the Christian Teaching Brotherhood.

His relationship with the imperial family qualified him in 1752 as the first praeses (president) of the chastity commission . Parhamer is said to have helped punish naked delinquents in his zeal even in the dead of winter. Parhamer became the confessor of Franz I Stephan in 1758 . From 1759 he headed the Vienna orphanage with methods copied from the military and corresponding drill.

In the church attached to the house - today the birth of Mary in the third district of Vienna - Mozart, then twelve years old, conducted the orphanage mass he composed in 1768 . Parhamer's institution became a model for similar institutions in the Austrian monarchy . In 1781/82 he was rector of the University of Vienna .

In 1894 the Parhamerplatz in Vienna- Hernals (17th district) was named after him, as was the Parhamergymnasium located on the square .

Parhamer was buried at the Sankt Marxer Friedhof in Vienna.
