bishop

László Nádasdy was appointed bishop of Csanád on June 15, 1710, which was confirmed on December 15 of the same year. The bishop of Wiener Neustadt , Franz Anton von Buchheim , donated him his episcopal ordination on March 22, 1711; Co- consecrators were László Ádám Erdődy , Bishop of Nitra , and Sigismund von Kollonitz , Bishop of Vác .

In line with the desire for a separate Banat diocese, the intention was also to move the episcopal residence to the center of this area, to Timişoara . Csanád , the original bishopric, was destroyed during the Turkish wars. After the liberation from Turkish rule, the bishopric was first moved to Szeged. However, the Viennese administration preferred Timisoara. The reasons for this were given by the Banat regional administration with precision: The German Timisoara is in the center of the diocese - the Hungarian Szegedin is on the edge. […] And finally the Archbishop of Gran makes claims to Szegedin.

On August 7, 1723, Nádasdy's episcopal power was extended to the Banat . However, his first visit to Timisoara took place on March 4, 1724. On the following day, March 5, 1724, Nádasdy was enthroned in Timişoara . His permanent deputy in Timisoara and in the Banat was the superior of the Jesuits .

Nádasdy tried to revive the religious life that was suppressed during the Turkish era. The religious holidays were reintroduced, as well as bells and organs and folk singing with music. To commemorate the liberation of the city, a requiem was held every year for the fallen and a Te Deum for the survivors .

At the time of Nádasdy, three religious congregations arose in Timisoara:

Johann von Nepomuk was declared the patron saint of the Banat on May 16, 1727 with the consent of the bishop and king through the vote of the individual parishes . His veneration took place before his canonization on March 19, 1729, which was due to the fact that many Czech officials and officers were resident in the Banat.
