ROMA, Terezinha and Nivaldo Abram, The "Matri Ecclesiae" Shrine welcomes pilgrims from many different countries, despite the weather which makes international trips difficult. Those who came in January and February came from Latin America, Africa and Europe. Some of the visits were reported on this web page. Some examples: On January 27th the Shrine had an illustrious visit: an Archbishop Emeritus from Poland, Mons. Ignacy Jez, who was a prisoner in Dachau at the same time as Father Kentenich. He arrived with his secretary, Father Mariano. They were welcomed by Sister M. Asuncion, Terezinha Abram and Mr. Franco, from Rome. On February 23rd the Nuno and Jensen Families, of the General Administration of the Institutes of Schoenstatt Families, along with the Assistant, Father Gunther M. Boll. Fathers Zbigniew Gilczowski and Victor Manuel E., Rector of the Shrine of Fatima celebrated Holy Mass at the Shrine on February 26th. An international and local mission, in and for the ChurchThese visits demonstrate the internationality of the Shrine of Belmonte. The neighbors have also demonstrated their affection and little by little they are getting informed and committed to the mission of taking anew the spirit of prayer to the heart of the family. With the Capital of Grace of the International Schoenstatt Family united to the one brought by the pilgrims to this place, the Matri Ecclesiae Shrine will accomplish its mission in and for the Church.
