From the FSSP Wigratzbad Blog:
Once again, our faithful friend, Bishop Wolfgang Haas, Archbishop Emeritus of Vaduz, did us the honour of conferring Holy Orders on our Seminarians.
On Saturday, 2 May 2026, we Celebrated Our Lady, Patroness of Bavaria, in the magnificent Baroque Nave of the Abbey Basilica of Ottobeuren.
Our community thus has twelve new Deacons, who were definitively incorporated into the FSSP the day before, in the presence of our Vicar General, Fr. Hubert Bizard. (source, in French).

Ottobeuren Abbey is a Benedictine Abbey, located in Ottobeuren, near Memmingen, in the Bavarian Allgäu, Germany.
For part of its history, Ottobeuren Abbey was one of the approximately forty, self-ruling, Imperial Abbeys of the Holy Roman Empire, and, as such, was a virtually Independent State.
At the time of its Dissolution in 1802, the Imperial Abbey covered 266 square kilometers (102 square miles) and had about 10,000 subjects.
The Church was named a Minor Basilica by Pope Pius XI in 1926.
