PARAGUAY, Ana Cristina Lassalle de Cabral. October 1, 2000, was a splendid day marked in the hearts of those who participated in the blessing of the Shrine of the Mother Thrice Admirable of Schoenstatt in Ciudad del Este. Unforgettable images such as: the image of the Blessed Mother arriving in procession carried by the Girls' Youth, Bishop Claudio Jiménez presiding at the Eucharist and consecrating the altar, and the Shrine itself was adorned with multi-colored flowers, flanked by the area's native palms that had just been planted.Read More
ENGLAND, Fr. Bryan Cunningham/mkf. "In the year 2000 the Schoenstatt movement in England and Wales gave this shrine as an invitation to Our Lady of Schoenstatt to make her home among us. Following the ancient tradition of the national shrine in Walsingham we prayed that this shrine could become a new Nazareth for the new millennium": two simple and significant sentences in the invitation for the 10th anniversary of the Shrine in Kearsley, Bolton, near Manchester, summarizing history, mission and future of the first Schoenstatt Shrine in England at theRead More

Throughout this year different campaigns and activities have been carried out. The strongest and largest one during the month of May was "What are you going to do for your nation?" Workshops to raise awareness of citizenship in several schools and secondary schools wereRead More

USA, Susan Bernhold. On Saturday September 18, 2010, a women's day of reflection was held at the Transfiguration Center in Ludlow Falls, Ohio. Thirty-three women some belonging to Schoenstatt (and one young man...6 month old Michael!) gathered for this beautiful day. Sr. M. Danielle Peters and Mrs. Cynthia Dillard presented "The greatest wealth is health-steps to a healthy/holy lifestyle." One simple word could describe the entire day...joy!!! Of course that is the way it usually is with Schoenstatters-pure joy!Read More

mkf. On a cold and rainy September morning the fact that the Original Shrine was filled with twenty deacons and priests from the Congo, Burundi, Nigeria, India, and England in addition to Sisters of Mary from more than ten countries attending along with youth and adults from several communities, was an indication there was a Mass "towards 2014". This September 4th, the Mass was in covenant with the Schoenstatt Family from the Congo. Father Jean-Bernard from the Congo, who was participating in Conference 2014, was the main celebrant;Read More
mkf. The sixth consecutive Mary's Crusade will take place on September 18th and 19th; it is a walk by the Schoenstatt Youth from Montevideo that unites the city of Libertad with the Nueva Helvecia Shrine, the world's first daughter Shrine. It is a "madness of love" that began with four "madmen" in 2005 and grew to 120 youth in 2009. The goal is clear: to use "soft violence" on the Blessed Mother so that she will give us the much awaited Montevideo Shrine.  Read More
USA, Carlos Cantú. In September of 1950, Joao Pozzobon had no idea that his efforts to take the image of the MTA to the people would have such far-reaching proportions. He had no idea - at the time - that he would be helping Blessed Mother commence her great visitation from the Schoenstatt Shrine. And he certainly had no idea that sixty years later - on September 9, 2010 - there would be a great celebration commemorating the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the Schoenstatt Rosary Campaign in Brownsville,Read More
