The friary is part of the Province of St. Elizabeth in Germany.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The renovation began in early August of 2016, under the direction of Friar Steffen BEHR.<br \/>\nMore than 4,300 square meters [46,284 sq. ft.] and 23,000 cubic meters [812,237 cu. ft.] have been restored, which can be compared to an area equivalent to more than 25 family apartments.<br \/>\nHalf of the friary will be rented out and the other half will be used as living space for the friars. This friary serves as the Provincial Curia; it has rooms for the Provincial offices and five or six guest rooms. It also serves as a post-novitiate house with five rooms for post-novices. Finally, it is a friary, with rooms set aside for sick and elderly friars. Altogether, there are eighteen rooms for friars, with large, wheelchair-accessible bathrooms.<br \/>\nThe reopening ceremony began with Mass presided over by the Most Reverend Urlich BOOM, Auxiliary Bishop of W\u00fcrzburg. After the Mass, a solemn concert was performed by &#8220;Duo 51&#8221; (harp and violin). Those attending included the guardian, Friar Josef BODENSTEINER; Bishop BOOM; the Minister Provincial, Friar Bernhardin SEITHER; the architect, Mr. Rainer KRIEBEL; the Mayor of W\u00fcrzburg, Mr. Christian SCHUCHARDT; and finally the Assistant General for the Centralis Europae Foederatio (CEF), Friar Miljenko HONTI\u0106.<br \/>\nAfter the celebrations, the participants were invited to an &#8220;imbiss&#8221; &#8211; a lunch in the cloister. Eventually, they broke up into smaller groups in order to take guided tours of the renovated friary.<br \/>\nFor the sake of thoroughness, one should clarify that the friary and the Province have leased property to a hotel. Work for the hotel is still ongoing in the friary courtyard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Friar Miljenko HONTI\u0106, Assistant General for the CEF<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 23, 2018, in W\u00fcrzburg, Germany, a celebration took place to reopen the friary of Santa Croce which underwent general renovations.
