Journey of faith

Sr. M. Margarite. The annual conference of the Military Council of Catholic Women-Europe was hosted this year for the third time at the Marienland Retreat Center on Mount Schoenstatt. Registrations this year reached the unexpected number of 129, with women and priests coming from US Army and Air Force military installations in five different European countries. The majority came from different cities within Germany itself.    Read More
Agathe Hug. "Where is New Caledonia? I don't know either. I looked it up on schoenstatt.org." This was a conversation overheard perhaps in front of the Original Shrine after the Holy Mass in covenant with New Caledonia.

As it happens every year after the celebration of October 18th, many people are traveling to their respective dioceses after participating in October Week. And there are no large pilgrimages to Schoenstatt atRead More

The Original Shrine in November

Agathe Hug. Not just the fanatical historians will find this interesting: What happened today in the Original Shrine in the year ...? If those who attend Holy Mass in the Original Shrine this coming Saturday, 5 November, were asked what connects the shrine at Belo Horizonte, the wayside shrine in Goya and the pariticipants at the Conference 2014, with this day ten years ago, would they know? The answer: Exactly ten years ago a start was made on this day with replacing the roof of the Original Shrine. The oldRead More
SWITZERLAND/AUSTRIA, Rita and Franz Schuler. The second Federation Course from Switzerland was in Vienna, at the Schoenstatt Center in Kahlenberg from October 1st-8th, 2011; visiting with families from Austria marked that week. On Sunday they visited the Rigler and Meches Families. On Tuesday morning, they had a meeting with the Berger Family, Movement leaders in Austria. That night they had a meeting with the Schiffl and Mitter Families. These get-togethers motivated them to exchange experiences and learn about life, and they were very encouraging. Read More
COSTA RICA, Michelle Ramírez. Many arrived in their autos and others pedaled their bicycles. Since extremely early in the morning, others prepared breakfast for everyone …other readied their guitars and their songs…      Read More
