On the occasion of the 150th anniversary, the House of Mercy on June 12, 2025 planned a ceremony in the auditorium of sciences. The achievements of the past decades should be recognized in long -term care and care. Due to the tragic event in Graz on Tuesday morning, the non -profit organization shifts the anniversary celebration to autumn.
“In our daily work, compassion is of particular importance. Especially in difficult times, it shows how valuable and mainly real cohesion is,” said Christoph Gisinger, Institute Director of the House of Mercy. For this reason, the organization for participation in today’s memorial and prayer lesson in St. Stephen’s Cathedral calls at 5:00 p.m. Representatives of the House of Mercy will also attend silence. “We would like to express an active sign of connection, grief and compassion,” says Gisinger.
Markus Müller, Rector of the Medical University of Vienna and planned keynote speaker of the anniversary event, was also deeply affected by the events. A total of around 730 guests had agreed to participate in the ceremony-including political representatives such as the Vienna City Councilor Peter Hacker and State Secretary Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig as well as church dignitaries such as diocesan administrator Josef Grünwidl and Cardinal Christoph Schönborn.
