GERMANY, Renate Siebenkäs •  How surprised I was when I read the article “The new Unity Cross for the Bellavista Shrine” in the WhatsApp Channel of Schoenstatt.org.

Fr Elmar Busse • If you look at the Schoenstatt Shrine App or the world map of the over two hundred Schoenstatt shrines, it becomes evident that Schoenstatt is a worldwide Movement of renewal with particularly dynamic life in Latin America.
