Who knows? Who has? Networked Pilgrims achieve more

mda. “I read in an article that the Pilgrim Mother is in the Ukraine. Who brought her there? How can I contact them?” – “A family in Portugal is thinking about emigrating to Canada. Where can they find Schoenstatt in Canada?” “I am a doctor in Venezuela and heard about Schoenstatt through a Novena to the Mother Thrice Admirable. Where can I find people in Caracas with whom I can share my enthusiasm about Schoenstatt?” “Does anyone have the book ‘Organische Aszese’ and no longer uses it?” “Where can I find material in Portuguese to prepare men to enter into the covenant of love?” These are some of the questions that arrive at schoenstatt.org via the service page.

With its extensive network the team of more than 60 collaborators can answer many such questions. But many it can’t. However, we are on our pilgrimage to 2014 and we are in the process of extending our network in the spirit of the Message 2014. So why don’t we use the potential of schoenstatt.org with its more than 20.000 individual visitors (per month) from 141 countries in a very practical way, and in the spirit of Fr Kentenich bank on active readers?
