Gabriele Eder-Cakl is the first woman at the head of the pastoral institute. She is committed to translating the 2000 -year -old message into today’s life – and for equal rights for women.

And coordinating offers across dioceses: « I always say that Austria is small enough that you can work together. We can develop more visibility and radiance with each other. »
