In addition to the news and real stories, opinion columns and reports about important moments in the Church, we offer our readers some basic information services and aim to make regular searches easier — from the addresses of the various shrines to topics about Schoenstatt and its mission.
The Quicklinks buttons on the left sidebar will take you to some of these and other highlighted or frequently searched information.
Please note that our “Service menue” is only a supplement to our “core mission” and that many other providers in the Schoenstatt area provide specialized sites. Links to national sites as well as to some relevant international sites can be found under the LINKS button.

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."
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.
