Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Former Bishop Paul Iby celebrated his 90th birthday yesterday with a thanksgiving service and 400 guests in St. Martin's Cathedral in Eisenstadt. Acting Bishop Ägidius Zsifkovics congratulated him on a triple anniversary: on his cradle day, the 32nd anniversary of his episcopal ordination (on January 24, 1993) and on his name day (Paul, January 25).
A special gift
In his sermon, he described Iby as a "renewer" who had left "lasting traces" in the diocese and had always become a shepherd to many "as a person, Christian and priest": "You are a pilgrim of hope who proclaims the Gospel to the people of our country and reminds them of the goal of the pilgrimage, the world, to which we are all on the way together".
After the mass, Mayor Steiner awarded Iby the "Joseph Haydn Medal in Gold" as a sign of recognition and appreciation for his impressive life's work and "tireless commitment to dialog and togetherness."
