the promotion of culture, sacred liturgy, and the charitable works of the Church have been amongst the priorities of his episcopal ministry. In November 2003, he set up a church school trust that has taken on the sponsorship of nine church schools to date. Between 2004 and 2005, he undertook the pastoral visitation of the eight regions of his diocese. In 2005, he reorganized the diocesan lay apostolate in order to make the structures more efficient and more in conformity with Canon Law. He also initiated and lent his support to the &#8222;Inner City Counselling&#8221; (&#8222;Innenstadtseelsorge&#8221;) project in the centre of Regensburg in order to address the diverse counselling needs of residents of the city centre and tourists. On his initiative, between 2008 and 2009, the city parishes of Regensburg implemented a city mission involving over 1000 voluntary helpers, with the objective of stimulating dialogue and making the Christian faith a topic for discussion again. He also revived the 600 year old K\u00f6tzting Pentecostal Ride (K\u00f6tztinger Pfingstritt) establishing it as Eucharistic procession, which attracts 40,000 people every year.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-667fed4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"667fed4\"
