Ramón and Marité Marini communicated the beautiful news in a mail sent immediately after getting the news: “At 09:50 PM we talked to Freddy Ratti – his father-in-law -, and he confirmed that ten minutes before the news of his liberation had been confirmed. Thanks be to God! Freddy asked us to share the news and thank all who accompanied them with prayers and capital of grace. Marité y Ramón”.

“It is with great joy that we communicate that we have been granted planning permission and building regulations clearance for the Shrine in Miami. It is a great joy for us to be able to have the Shrine blessed in the Year of Father Kentenich’s 100th ordination anniversary. We hope that the Blessed Mother opens the doors so that this dream may become true. Luis and Kathy Asanza”
