SCHOENSTATT,pos. The General Presidium of the International Schoenstatt Movement in its session on December 9, 2003, decided to invite the worldwide Schoenstatt family to join in the celebration of the blessing of the Rome Shrine on September 8, 2004.

In their letter to the international Schoenstatt Family, the Presidium proclaimed the decision to fulfill the promise of the Shrine in Rome, given to our Father and Founder in 1965. We plan to celebrate the event of the blessing with a three day festivity from September 7 through 9, 2004.

An official letter of invitation with program and organizational advices will be sent end January. These days, an international project team was formed that will be in charge of the preparation and implementation of the program.

Welcome in Rome, the Eternal City!
