Pastor John Subash Vincent emphasized the importance of commitment for the parish's functioning, while Mayor Marina Hirnet highlighted the good cooperation between the parish and the municipality. Bernhard Lang described the parish as small but active, mentioning several events that took place or are planned, including patronal feasts, Corpus Christi celebrations, first communion celebrations, a parish festival in 2022, a "60 plus outing," and the development of a protection concept by the parish council and church administration.

Monika Adomat spoke of diverse offers from Caritas, while the Sexton working group, including Sexton and Otakar Slanar, made progress in their endeavours. External renovations of the parish house and parish center are now complete, as explained by Josef Meckl.
