mda. Sometimes the simple and spontaneous ideas are the ones that are most effective; sometimes the smallest missionary gestures are the start of something big…During the Year of the Missionary Current, Silvia Kessler’s gesture had this potential; she is from Mar del Plata. Mar del Plata, summer vacation, a tourist city… a Shrine. Is it possible…?
Silvia Kessler, of Schoenstatt’s founding generation in Mar del Plata, sent the schoenstatt.org team some “photos of the Shrine in Mar del Plata, Argentina, to be distributed, since at this time, the tourist movement from everywhere is very important. I thought about the possibility that they be published…if it was viable.”
Here it goes – this is an invitation at the height of vacation time to Schoenstatt tourists, and to everyone who wants to rest and to recharge the batteries of their soul: there is a Shrine of the Blessed Mother, close to the beach…which is open to all…
Living where others go on vacation…
The Mother Thrice Admirable with her allies lives in many places, where others go on vacation. How about inviting the tourists – with or without a covenant – to these Shrines?
Meanwhile…welcome, tourists of Mar del Plata, to the Shrine…

Why not? What did our father and founder say about our shrines? There are places on earth where the sun shines brighter, places called Spas where people go to rejuvinate their physical health. Our shrines are a kind of Spa where we go to rejuvinate our spiritual health. Why not combine the two? MPHC-EV
