ARGENTINA, mda. Lilita and Carlos Ricciardi have organized a prayer chain before the beginning of the Family Missions for many years; to pray for the missions and those who are missioned is the necessary support of grace. This year it also includes the Schoenstatt Youth missions in different parts of the country, and they invite everyone who goes on mission to communicate the dates and places where they will be carried out. Thus those who cannot physically participate in the missions but who want to be a part of thisRead More

SOUTH AFRICA, Sarah-Leah Pimentel. A year ago, a few Schoenstatt members in Cape Town got together and asked the question: What can we do to put Christ back into Christmas?

COVENANT SOLIDARITY, mda. “…The truth is that Mary is the one who knows how to transform a stable into a home for Jesus with a few rags and a mountain of tenderness…” A Schoenstatt Diocesan Priest has chosen this phrase from Pope Francis’ audience with the pilgrims of the Schoenstatt Movement, along with a photo of a woman and her child in her arms in very poor hut...There are more than 130 families who come from a life in huts of sticks and plastic and who will celebrate thisRead More

ARGENTINA, Lilita and Carlos Ricciardi/mda. It was 2001; Carlos and Litlita Ricciardo traveled from Argentina to Schoenstatt, Germany, with the dream of going on pilgrimage to the Original Shrine and sharing their experience with the Family Missions.
