GERMANY, mkf. What characterizes a Covenant Day- that monthly renewal of the Covenant of Love on the 18th of every month? It is the life that comes from the Covenant of Love created in different Shrines in a multitude of ways expressing this experience. However it is also about a double "fusion of love" as Father Kentenich said in 1945, with the Blessed Mother who lives and reigns with others and obviously also with Father Kentenich. So month after month, this all happens in the Original Shrine,Read More
BRAZIL, Vânia Maria Pontes. My attachment to Mary, Our Lady of Schoenstatt began when I got married, and I went to live in Santa Maria -RS.

And that is what happened.      Read More

USA, Joe Yank. Whenever I browse this international Schoenstatt website, I am impressed to see how much life there is in our Schoenstatt Family throughout the world.

Father Marcelo Aravena/mkf. On December 10, 2010, papal decrees recognized the martyrdom of German Father Alois Andritzki killed in the Nazi Dachau concentration camp in 1943. The beatification will take place on June 13, 2011, in Dresden.

Lethal injection was most likely the cause of his death. During that time, Andritzki was in agony having contracted typhus in Dachau. For the concentration camp's administration, heRead More
