Encouragements and blessings came from all parts of the world, and each one was gratefully perceived:” I was very happy about the many congratulations and the support for my office that was expressed in them. They mean much to me and motivate me to commit myself with all my power for the Kolping Association and its worldwide work”, says Msgr Christoph Huber. “I am very happy that our Association sticks together internationally, also and particularly during these difficult times, and that we do not let the problems discourage us, but that we tackle them together.”
