Casa del Niño
ARGENTINA, Maria Fischer • David approached me, a little shy and with a smile that warms the heart, he asked me: Why are you here?

Novena 18 de octubre
NETWORK OF SHRINES, Inés Petiti, Maria Fischer • Another October 18 is approaching. It is not simply another anniversary…it is not another “jubilee” or celebration of so many years of Schoenstatt’s founding.
