mkf. Only two weeks had passed without a Holy Mass on a Saturday morning "in preparation for 2014" because Christmas and New Year's fell on a Saturday, but it seemed like a much longer time. This Holy Mass in its simplicity and regularity is a strong sign of the unity of the common pilgrimage of the Schoenstatt Family toward 2014, in good measure, because it is here that the worries of the World-wide Schoenstatt Family converge and are offered in prayer. It was also for this reason thatRead More

Priscila was born on 26 February 1985 in Barboza, Ferraz, Paraná and has another sister. Most noticeable in the last few days of her life was her joy in preparing herself, with her course sisters, for her eternal consecration. God granted her wish and from 23 January 2011, Sr. Priscila will live in eternal love.      Read More

PERU, Queca Espinoza. One of life's beautiful things is the ability to be surprised, the ability to be in awe over large and small things and to know how to enjoy them when they happen. Last Thursday, January 13th was one of the those days for the Schoenstatt Movement in Lima, when we were visited by twenty members from the Schoenstatt Institute of Diocesan Priests accompanied by two diocesan priests from Peru; there were twenty-two priests and one seminarian!  Read More
ECUADOR, Yahel E. It is pleasure to greet you. I belonged to the Schoenstatt Girls' Youth here in my country, but for different reasons, I could not continue. I still have not strayed from what I learned there: God, the Blessed Mother, Father Joseph and Schoenstatt have always been my guides. I constantly enter the website, and I read the articles, which are very interesting to me.    Read More
ROME, Fr. Guillermo Mario Cassone.

All the procedural steps were rigorously followed and had been previously fulfilled. The only exception was the opening of the process before five years of his death.  Read More
