Saint Koloman
Missionary Abbey
Built on the foundation of an old Franciscan
monastery, the Austrian headquarters
of the Steyl missionary sisters have been
founded back in 1912. It is almost 100 years now
that the first missionary sisters arrived from
Steyl in the Netherlands, the „cradle of missionary
work“, and settled in Stockerau. Out of this
place, more than 300 missionaries have been sent
all over the world. Today, Steyl missionary sisters
work in more than 40 countries on all continents
of the world. In Austria, the focus of attention is
on health care, school education, spiritual
accompaniment and organising retreats and
missionary courses.
Saint Koloman is also used as a meeting
place for local groups from the Weinviertel
district. Saint Koloman is the city patron of
Stockerau. He arrived here in the 11th
century AD and unfortunately died as a
martyr falsely accused of being a spy.
