Festive farewell - parish officer leaves parish association Röhrmoos-Hebertshausen

Schönbrunn – Margit Seegerer, the popular community officer in the Röhrmoos-Hebertshausen parish association, is leaving both communities at the end of the year.

She was now said goodbye as part of a solemn parish church service in the monastery church of Schönbrunn.

Why is Margit Seegerer leaving?

Due to the new personnel strategy in the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising, the extensive tasks have to be spread over several shoulders.

Seegerer, who has been working in the Röhrmoos-Hebertshausen parish association since December 2016, has therefore applied for a position in senior pastoral care in Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn and Aying-Helfersdorf.

In the Röhrmoos-Hebertshausen parish association she was the right hand of Monsignor Michael Bartmann.

Colleagues and candidate for the priesthood, Christian Ulbrich, expressed that she will be badly missed here in the future in a skit in the theater of the Schönbrunn Sisters, when it was said again and again “Ask Margit”.

The 55-year-old from Upper Palatinate worked as a nurse at the beginning of her professional life.

"Franciscans took me to church missions in Berlin and Bamberg, and from then on it was clear to me that it would become something full-time for me," Seegerer told the Dachauer Nachrichten.

In 1996 she studied parish pastoral and religious education in Freiburg and then went to her home diocese.

There she passed the second service examination and was then employed as a municipal officer.

The unmarried and childless woman came to the diocese of Munich-Freising in 2009 through fellow students.

She joined the Röhrmoos-Hebertshausen parish association in December 2016.

Now, at the farewell, Pastor Bartmann thanked her for her tireless efforts and her commitment to young and old in the parish association.

Here Seegerer was active in the preparation of communion, in the children's and family services, in the pastoral care of the kindergartens, religious instruction in the schools and holding services of the word.

Distributing communion for the sick, working in the committees and the many other circles were also part of Seegerer's everyday work.

"Not to forget the many church services in which she participated as a singer and cantor and brought in her great singing skills," says Bartmann.

It was a particular joy for Seegerer to say farewell that the service was framed in her honor by wind instruments, singers and organ music, because she has been enthusiastic about music since her childhood.

She made no secret of the fact that she was leaving Röhrmoos and Hebertshausen with a heavy heart and could not hide her tears in her words of thanks.

Seegerer compared her six-year career to a train journey, during which she experienced a lot of good but also sad things.

Pastor Bartmann made it possible for her to "drive" independently.

The Schönbrunner sisters, who also accompanied her in prayer, were a great support for her.

"Great people got on my train," underlined Seegerer, pointing out that she has grown fond of all the people here.

At the same time she asked the many people in the parish association to place their trust in her successor Ulrike Saam as well.

The mayor of Röhrmoos, Dieter Kugler, thanked the communities of Röhrmoos and Hebertshausen for the extraordinarily good cooperation with a farewell gift.

Josefa Westermaier and Beatrix Haneke (parish association), Superior General Gabriele on behalf of the Schönbrunn sisters and also the Ampermoching women's community thanked Pastor Bartmann with gifts.

Just for fun, gold medals were awarded to Seegerer in the categories "Best Networking", "Perfect Preparation" and "Best Outfit".
