BRAZIL, Sister M. Nilza P. da Silva. When the morning of March 26th began in Rio de Janeiro/ RJ, with a brilliant sun and intense heat, hundreds of people were already on the way with a joyful demeanor and much enthusiasm. Where were they going so quickly? If someone dared to answer the beach, he/she would be mistaken. These Cariocans had a much happier response: we are going to the grace-filled sea of the Mother and Queen!      Read More

mkf. María Elena Vilches from Ecuador was the first one to notice that during the Masses celebrated Saturday after Saturday in the Original Shrine in preparation for 2014: the sky is clearer each time. This is how it was in February, when it was still very dark at the beginning of the Holy Mass at 7:15 a.m., and on March 26th, when the Holy Mass Covenant with Indonesia began, the sun was already shining brightly…Perhaps this was not only a meteorological sign of spring, but rather of this pilgrimageRead More

We Are Moving!

mkf. Finally, the moment we have been desiring for such a long time approaches. Thanks to the collaboration of many - "Team 2014" in the first place; the Schoenstatt Fathers from Argentina - especially Father Juan Pablo Catoggio - who gave us the domain and kept it for us until February; the help of Jorge Castro Calou; the collaboration of Fabrizio Usai (Italy), Manuel López Naón (Argentina) and many more. Our international web page - until now known as schoenstatt.de - becomes even more internationalRead More
USA, Carlos Cantú. Sixty years ago, Joao Luiz Pozzobon might have heard about the state of Texas in the USA, but he had no idea that a banner with his image bearing the Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen and Victress of Schoenstatt on his shoulder would be displayed in the Schoenstatt Training Center at a Coordinators' Pilgrimage Day in Rockport/Lamar, Texas. Also on display were sixty or more Pilgrim MTA's and two Auxiliary MTAs, all a vital part of the now known Schoenstatt Rosary Campaign of the Mother Thrice Admirable, QueenRead More
