History


The Congregation was founded on 3 August 1625 by Pope Urban VIII, and consisted of eleven Benedictine monasteries in Austria:



  • Altenburg Abbey

  • Garsten Abbey

  • Gleink Abbey

  • Göttweig Abbey

  • Kleinmariazell Abbey

  • Kremsmünster Abbey

  • Lambach Abbey

  • Melk Abbey

  • Mondsee Abbey

  • Schottenstift, Vienna

  • Seitenstetten Abbey



Salzburg Congregation


These were however not all the Benedictine monasteries of present-day Austria. Those in the Diocese of Salzburg were formed in 1641 into the Salzburg Congregation, consisting of:



  • Admont Abbey

  • Michaelbeuern Abbey

  • Ossiach Abbey

  • St. Paul's Abbey in the Lavanttal

  • St. Peter's Abbey, Salzburg


The diocese also then included two further monasteries, the locations of which are now in Bavaria in Germany:



  • St. Vitus' Abbey on the Rott

  • Seeon Abbey


Salzburg was secularised and became part of Austria in 1816.



Later history


Several of these abbeys ceased to exist as a result of the dissolution of monasteries enforced by Emperor Joseph II in the 1780s.


Some survived, however, and the 19th century brought a revival in the monastic movement. The two congregations were renewed by Pope Leo XIII on 23 August 1889 as the Congregations of Mary and Joseph respectively, and were combined as the present Austrian Congregation by Pope Pius XI on 8 December 1930.



Present Congregation


The Austrian Congregation (as of 2006) consists of the following monasteries in Austria:



  • Admont Abbey

  • Altenburg Abbey

  • Göttweig Abbey

  • Gut Aich Priory

  • Kremsmünster Abbey

  • Lambach Abbey

  • Melk Abbey

  • Michaelbeuern Abbey

  • Schottenstift, Vienna

  • Seitenstetten Abbey

  • St. Joseph's Priory, Maria Roggendorf

  • St. Lambrecht's Abbey

  • St. Paul's Abbey in the Lavanttal


  • St. Peter's Archabbey, Salzburg, which also administers the student house Kolleg St. Benedikt.

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy...
