Frank Bayard (born 11 October 1971) is a German Roman Catholic priest, a manager by trade and the 66th Grand Master of the Teutonic Order.[1]

Early Life

After completing an apprenticeship as a banker at Deutsche Bank, Frank Bayard studied business administration and European economics at the Wissenschaftliche Hochschule Lahr (WHL), graduating with a degree in business administration.

Religious Life

In 2000, Bayard entered the Teutonic Order, made a perpetual profession on 19 September 2004,[2] and studied philosophy, Catholic theology, history, and health care management in Innsbruck and Vienna from 2001 to 2008. On 22 July 2006, he received the sacrament of priestly ordination in the Collegiate Church of Weyarn by the Archbishop of Munich and Freising, Friedrich Cardinal Wetter.[1] Since 2015, he has been a substitute of the parish of Gumpoldskirchen in the Archdiocese of Vienna.

In 2006 he was elected to the General Government of the German Order as General Councillor of the German Brotherly Province. From 2008 to 2018, he served as the order's general economist. On 22 August 2018, at the General Chapter of the Teutonic Order in Vienna, Frank Bayard was elected to succeed Bruno Platter as Abbot General and Grand Master of the Order for a six-year term[3] and was immediately installed in office. He was given the abbatial edict by the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, on 17 November of the same year in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna.[4]

After the founding of the Austrian Conference of Religious Orders in December 2019, as a merger of the Superior's Conference and the Association of Women's Orders of Austria, the women's and men's orders of the Archdiocese of Vienna and the Diocese of Eisenstadt, the so-called Diocesan Conference of Vienna/Eisenstadt, chaired by Secretary General Christine Rod, appointed Bayard as president of the Diocesan Conference of Vienna/Eisenstadt on 15 September 2020.[5] As of 16 September 2020, Bayard was also appointed a member of the board of the Institute of Austrian Religious Orders.[6]

Honours

  • Grand Cross of the Order pro Merito Melitensi – Ecclesiastical class pro Piis Meritis Melitensi (13 October 2021).[7] Awarded as a sign of the solidarity of the two orders of chivalry and in recognition of the achievements of the Teutonic Order in the service of the "Lord's Sick."
