This ensures a permanent and close contact with all departments of the archdiocese of Vienna. The Centre is run by Dean Fr. Martin Rupprecht, his secretary and his Muslim assistant and supported by a large pool of volunteers. Within the archdiocese the team is working on activities in the context of Christian-Islamic dialogue and is counseling the Viennese Archbishop, Dr. Christoph Cardinal Schönborn.

* to enable and attend encounter on all levels
* to provide education and retraining
