Itauguá is worth the risk, it’s worth your life

PARAGUAY, HOUSE MOTHER OF TUPARENDA, Ani Souberlich • This Holy Week, as a team of House Mother of Tupãrenda, we made a visit to the Educational Center of Itauguá to invite the teenagers deprived of their freedom to participate in the program once they are released. — In this visit we told them everything they can learn in our house, to later have a job and thus achieve a better quality of life for them and their families. As always, they received us with joy and above all with aRead More

Amrein/mf • The Men’s Workshop had once again invited to an online event, this time on the topic: “Life crisis that led to faith!” Jim from Sydney gave a touching testimony on how he experienced the gift of purity. — Jim J., German-born Australian, showed the participants that evening how the word of Jesus: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matt. 5:8) “how this word became very real to me and led me through some very personal encounters to aRead More

With “Cobijo” I can do for Cubans what I can’t do for Cuba

SPAIN, Yany Lafuente Mata • Dreams come true by the hand of God and under the protection of Our Lady, and Cobijo is a dream, a dream born from the desire to help those who come here to find new opportunities for a dignified and happy life. — Cobijo Cristo Rey is our fourth reception center, a place we thought was very far away when we embarked on this journey with Father Bladimir, but the feeling of seeing another house ready to welcome and give a home to many CubansRead More

How is Casa Madre de Tupãrenda, how are the staff, the young people?

PARAGUAY, Ani Souberlich •  Does anyone have information about Casa Madre de Tupãrenda? How is Casa Madre de Tupãrenda doing? How are the staff and the youth? Nothing has appeared on schoenstatt.org this year. The institutional website has not been updated for years, what is going on? Such questions and concerns were expressed again and again. The honest answer: we closed the year 2022 with great difficulties. —  “We reorganized ourselves even before Father Pedro left, and we continue to work despite all the difficulties, even though the state withdrewRead More

Cobijo inaugurates fourth refugee shelter

SPAIN, Soledad Menéndez and César Fernández-Quintanilla •  Life in Cuba today is a nightmare. A daily struggle for survival, with no prospect of change and for many with only one way out: to leave the country. Every day, thousands of Cubans try to escape this situation in different ways, some at the danger of their lives. Many arrive in Madrid. Without papers, without work, without money and often with a broken soul. Here they come into contact with Father Bladimir in very different ways. — Bladimir Navarro, Schoenstatt diocesan priest,Read More

Families who begin to approach the faith through their children

ARGENTINA, Maria Fischer • We begin our visit where it all began ten years ago, when Alejandra Pastene and Guillermo Ferreyra, from the Schoenstatt Institute of Families, together with Maria Pastene and Juan Ignacio Barrena, made their dream come true and founded the Covenant School, a school with Kentenich pedagogy. “Covenant”, can be seen on the door of the house where the initial level or kindergarten is located, and covenant awaits us in the wayside shrine, and in every corner of this house, in every person who greets us, inRead More

The help that brings a plate of food to our homes

ECUADOR, Maria Fischer • “I feel grateful first of all to God and to the Church and to the people who donate here. I hope they continue to help us because for us it is a great help, because we have no work. Thanks to God and to the people who are doing this, also to you, Father,” says one of the many people who last week received, as every month since the beginning of the pandemic, their charity bag. — It is the social work of the Schoenstatt ShrineRead More

Once again: the charity bags, symbol of the church of mercy

ECUADOR, Fr. Rafael Amaya / María Fischer • They did it once again. As since the beginning of the pandemic, and during all these difficult years, and even this year 2023. Once a month, the Schoenstatt Shrine in the city of Quito becomes a House of Bread, a House of Charity, where, in a long line, the poor of the neighborhood wait for their “charity bags” with food and what they need to survive. They are families where no one has a job, single mothers, the elderly. Schoenstatters with socialRead More

You can see that She does not stop! Madre, ven – the film

SPAIN, Ambrosio Arizu/Maria Fischer • “Tell them to write on the web”, Ambrosio Arizu answers me when I tell him that within the schoenstatt.org team, after so many articles about Madre Ven – the pilgrimage in 2021, and the film in 2022 – the hope grew to be able to see the film also in Portugal and Argentina. The diffusion of the film is in charge of the production company Goya… but with the touch of “nothing without us”, since Goya acts from the popular request, expressed in a formRead More

On the road to employment integration

CHILE, Verónica Morandé • From the “María en el camino” Foundation, several types of courses and workshops are offered for the migrants of the Yevide camp and for all those who lack the necessary training for their integration into the job market. — Training in hygiene and food handling Thinking of offering adequate training to those who start a business or also offer to work in restaurants, casinos or other places in the area, we sought a professional with a long and important experience to perform such training: Miriam ToroRead More

About schoenstatt.org

Connecting Schoenstatters

We offer here a selection of articles from schoenstatt.org, in English. Schoenstatt.org as such is available in Spanish, Portuguese, and German.

Our mission is to serve the life of the International Schoenstatt family and the Church by promoting bonds of solidarity - covenant culture - and offering this service as a testimony - culture of encounter.

In all our actions, we daily hear the echoes of the words given to us by Pope Francis during the audience on 25 October 2014, "a culture of encounter is a covenant culture that creates solidarity."

About Schoenstatt

Schoenstatt is an ecclesial Movement, where everyone, each according to his individual vocation and united in covenant, serves the Church and its mission and the world God has entrusted to us.

The core of Schoenstatt's foundation is the covenant of love with Mary, the Mother of God.

This covenant of love generates culture and covenant culture is the unique expression of our way of life and work, our attachment to God, to people, to nature and culture, to the Church and the world, which always departs from the covenant of love.

Schoenstatt's commitment to this covenant culture inspires it to go out from the shrines to the existential peripheries to "sanctuarize" the world, as Pope Francis says.
