Registration for the Episcopal Ordination of Josef Grünwidl at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna Starting in December

On January 24, 2026, at 2:00 PM, the consecration of Josef Grünwidl as the 33rd Bishop of Vienna will take place at St. Stephen's Cathedral. All information about the festive service and online registration can be found here.

"The entire diocese is preparing with great joy for the celebration of the episcopal consecration and the assumption of office by Josef Grünwidl," says Nina Sevelda-Platzl, head of the archbishop's secretariat and coordinator of the festival preparations. An indication of this is, for example, that within a short time, 150 altar servers from the entire Archdiocese of Vienna have registered, thus reaching full capacity.

Online Registrations for the Consecration of Josef Grünwidl from December 2

All individuals who wish to personally experience the consecration of Josef Grünwidl are invited to register by December 2 at www.erzbischof.wien – the demand for seats is predictably high. The festive service will also be broadcast live on ORF II and radio klassik Stephansdom. Therefore, there is also the possibility to follow the consecration live from home.

To enable as many believers as possible to celebrate the beginning of the new archbishop's service, he will take on the leadership of services in various locations of the Northern and Southern vicariates in the weeks following the consecration. On February 13, he will lead a Eucharistic celebration at 5:00 PM in the cathedral of Wiener Neustadt, as well as in his hometown of Wullersdorf on February 14 at 2:30 PM.
