The Viennese cathedral priest Toni Faber can now also be found on Instagram. Under @tonifaber_official, the 64-year-old has published his first posts.

To start, Faber showcases several professionally produced videos about St. Stephen’s Cathedral. At the same time, another statement is drawing attention: Regarding a possible participation in the ORF dance show „Dancing Stars,“ the clergyman apparently does not want to completely close the door.

So far, the new account features four professionally crafted videos in which Faber can be seen in and around St. Stephen’s Cathedral.

In his first post, the cathedral priest talks about his personal connection to the Viennese cathedral. He swoons: „I love the cathedral.“ When he arrives at the cathedral in the morning, he knows he has arrived.

Faber also describes St. Stephen’s Cathedral as his personal place and emphasizes his connection with God and the people.

It gets more intriguing in another Instagram video. Faber comments with a wink on the speculations about a possible participation in „Dancing Stars.“

In recent weeks, the cathedral priest has repeatedly been mentioned as a possible candidate for the Austrian dance show. While media reported that the Archdiocese of Vienna had vetoed it, Faber himself initially stated that he had declined.

The topic does not seem to be completely closed.

Faber explains on Instagram that he cannot currently imagine participating given his workload as a cathedral pastor.

Immediately after, however, he qualifies his statement with a sentence: „But never say never.“

With this, the prominent clergyman leaves the speculations at least somewhat open.

Faber is one of the most well-known personalities of the Catholic Church in Austria. As was already announced in the summer, he is to give up his position as cathedral pastor after 30 years on August 31, 2027, and retire.

Whether the topic „Dancing Stars“ will actually become relevant again after his departure from office is currently open.
