Marian Eleganti

Marian Eleganti OSB (born 7 April 1955) is a Swiss Catholic prelate who served as an auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Chur from 2009 to 2021.

Later that year, Eleganti resigned from the monastery and joined a recently [1972] started group in Innsbruck, Austria, under the leadership of the Austrian priest Joseph Seidnitzer who had been gathering a community of young men and women geared towards the priesthood and the consecrated life.

In 1978, alongside Gebhard Maria Sigl, he took over leadership duties for the above said community in Innsbruck, due to - as it turned out - the suspension 'a Divinis' of Fr.

Eleganti left the community in 1990, entering the Abbey of the Missionary Benedictines in St. Otmarsberg in Uznach, where he assumed the religious name "Marian".

On 1 February 2010, Eleganti became episcopal vicar in the regional general vicariate for the cantons of Zurich and Glarus, with responsibility for pastoral work, representation and administration.
