New Pastor Takes Charge at Evangelical-Lutheran Parish of Immenstadt-Blaichach

After a year-long vacancy, the Evangelical-Lutheran Parish of Immenstadt-Blaichach has a new pastor. Reverend Sieghard Sapper has taken up the unified leadership of the parish, serving as the pastor for both Immenstadt and Blaichach.

The festive induction service for Reverend Sapper took place in both Immenstadt and Blaichach, marking the official welcome of the new pastor. The service in Immenstadt was held to welcome him to the Immenstadt parish, while the service in Blaichach was the main event.

Reverend Gabriele Bleher, who previously served as a pastor in the parish, had been serving the Blaichach parish for 15 years before Reverend Sapper's arrival. In total, she served a combined total of 15 years in both the Immenstadt and Blaichach parishes. However, she is no longer the pastor of the parish.

The ending of the one-year vacancy required much effort and organization from the parish. The parishioners of Immenstadt were also present at the induction service to welcome the new pastor.

With the new pastor in place, the rectory lights in both Immenstadt and Blaichach are now on, signifying the full staffing of the parish. Reverend Sapper is now responsible for both the Immenstadt and Blaichach parishes, ensuring continuity and unity in the parish's leadership.

This change marks a new chapter for the Evangelical-Lutheran Parish of Immenstadt-Blaichach, and the parishioners look forward to the future under the guidance of Reverend Sieghard Sapper.
