Fr. Heinrich Walter. "There is a meeting of the General Presidium," it is often said. But, what happens at these meetings of the society for the international coordination of the Schoenstatt Work, where regularly attending the meetings are the representatives of the Institutes and Federations (two for each of them) and of the world-wide Movement (represented by the director of the Schoenstatt Movement in Germany)? In the future, the essential topics will be transmitted through this media at regular intervals.  Read More
POLAND, Violetta Wilandt. Since June 2008, the Schoenstatt Family at the Shrine in Bydgoszcz (Sanctuarium Fidentiae) had prepared for the Feast of crowning the Blessed Mother as the Queen of Confidence. The Crowning Feast was celebrated on June 18th in the presence of many pilgrims and friends.      Read More
Marianne Maier. Marianne Maier and her friend, Katy Abele, traveled through South America for several weeks during the month of March, and on this excursion they were in Villa La Angostura in Argentinean Patagonia, where Clara Bianco Herbón and her husband have an inn: "Puerta del Sol." This week an interview with Clara was published on schoenstatt.org concerning the situation in Villa La Angostura, presently covered with 40 centimeters of volcanic ash, this article inspired this letter from Marianne addressed to Clara. Life enkindles life, and theRead More
Sarah-Leah Pimentel. During a series of talks on Fr. Kentenich given by Fr. Werner Kuller a few weeks ago to the Schoenstatt Family in Johannesburg, we received an invitation: to make a Covenant of Love with our father and founder.        Read More
Fr. Alberto Eronti. Last year, I wrote in an article that the entire Family should walk toward the Jubilee of the first Schoenstatt century in the hand of the Father of the Family. Why? Because we want to fulfill his mandate: "Each generation is called to re-found Schoenstatt."      Read More
ARGENTINA, Clara Bianco Herbón/mkf. Villa La Angostura rates as one of the most beautiful tourist places in Argentinean Patagonia, a place that appears in schoenstatt.org, news once in a while as the home of the news writer and just one of the hundreds and hundreds of collaborators for the Schoenstatt website. One example is her article about the simplest opening of the triennium in the entire world, and she is also the translator for Italian articles on the website. Recently two young women from the German Schoenstatt's YouthRead More
LEBANON, Toufic Labaki, aat. A Biblical country, mentioned 72 times in the Old Testament, famous for its precious wood cedars, perfumed and which is not likely to decay - a symbol of the Immaculata - with which Solomon built the Temple in Jerusalem. In the southern part of its territory lies Cana where they preserve the ruins of six stone jars: "They have no more wine - Do what He tells you."    Read More
mkf. It was a joy to celebrate this 18th - 1,217 days -39 18ths- from October 18, 2014 - especially on a Saturday, because this way the usual Mass "toward 2014" that morning in the Original Shrine - in covenant with Kuwait - was at the same time celebrated as a Covenant Mass, transmitted live via schoenstatt-tv! Father Heinrich Walter, President of the General Presidency of Schoenstatt, was the celebrant (since Father José María García was in Paraguay for the priestly ordination of Alfredo Pereira and Pedro Miraballes).

USA, Judy Harlowe. Special programs during retreats at the Schoenstatt International Center in Waukesha, in Ohio, in Illinois and in Minnesota often include Fr. Gerold Langsch playing his keyboard and singing. Soon, members of the Schoenstatt family will be able to take Fr. Gerold’s music home with them or listen to his music on the way to work, to Church or to family gatherings.      Read More
mkf. "There's always a bed in a cornfield!" For the last two or three years a canny pub owner in Germany has been offering bed & breakfast at a "Thousand-star-hotel" using this song from the 1970s. And it is just that: in a cornfield under the stars. But not quite the thing for the eight, ten or fifteen or more thousand pilgrims from all over the world making their way to Schoenstatt and Rome in October 2014. No, we aren't offering a bed in a cornfield, but one in aRead More
