Father Joseph Kentenich, the Founder of the International Schoenstatt Movement,
died on September 15, 1968 in the reputation of sanctity.
His beatification process was initiated in the diocese of Trier on February 10, 1975.
The burial place of Father Kentenich can be found at the place of his death, the former sacristy of the Adoration Church on Mount Schoenstatt, Vallendar, Germany. People come from all over the world to entrust their petitions to God through his intercession.
A visitor said:
„The first time I visited the resting place of Father Kentenich I had many problems I wanted to solve. But I quickly forgot about them. A deep calm came over me when I touched the sarcophagus. I will come again."
Another testimony:
„Many years ago already I chose Father Kentenich as my father, also for my family ... Father Kentenich helps with illnesses, but also with all other intentions. He has understanding for everything. One only has to ask him; then he stands lovingly at our side as our father."
The "Father Joseph Kentenich Secretariat" is at the service
of the process of canonization of Father Kentenich.
It provides informational materials and offers inspirations for prayer in 29 different languages.

to many people and offered to the whole Church.
