Sarah-Leah Pimentel. A little over a week ago, I went onto the Spanish page on www.schoenstatt.de, looking for articles that still needed translating into English. I found one, called ‘{cms_selflink page="a-new-nation" text="Patria Nueva"},' an apostolic project started by the Schoenstatt Youth aiming to renew Argentinean society and develop a greater sense of national responsibility. The context for the article was the upcoming 200th anniversary of Argentina's nationhood. Finding the project interesting, I translated it and sent it off to the Press Office without giving it much thought.Read More

mkf. "Barbados? Is Schoenstatt in Barbados?" There is no Barbados flag in Schoenstatt, the names of Schoenstatters in Barbados are unknown, there was no one from that Caribbean island nation in the Original Shrine on the morning of Saturday, April 24th when the {cms_selflink page="centenary-masses" text="Holy Mass towards 2014"}, in Covenant with Barbados was celebrated.

mkf. April 17th, 7:10 a.m.: The Australian flag entered the Original Shrine, where the now familiar poster announces that this Saturday the Holy Mass "towards 2014" would be celebrated in Covenant with Australia.

While the Boys' Youth from Corrientes closed their books about the personal ideal between yawns, the Boys' Youth from San Juan were getting comfortable in their chairs, the Girls' Youth from Buenos Aires were cutting their little papers of Argentina, and the Holy Legion Knights waited between talks, all were waiting for a special event happening at the Original Shrine. Ana de Capezio turned on her computer at the same time as her daughter Maria Silvia in Alaska did so… In northern Germany, Florentina dressed herRead More
