En esa plaza (y también con lluvia) se celebró el centenario del Padre... At this place (and also with rain), the centenary of Fr. Kentenich was celebrated Auf dem selben Platz (und auch im Regen) wurde das Gedenkjahr 1985 gefeiert

WYD Schoenstatt, Francisco J. Gutierrez Recabarren. The first pictures arrived, the articles, the sounds…It is the same rain and the same spirit that depicts the celebration in the Pilgrims’ square, just like 1985, writes Francisco J. Gutierrez Recabarren, from the 5^th course of the Schoenstatt Family Institute from Chile, "from which at least 5 children from 4 different families from our course are pilgrims in that land."

For us as parents of the youth that are pilgrimage to the holy places of Schoenstatt, schoenstatt.de is a great gift that keeps us attached to our children and all the youth.

Schoenstatt.de is a great gift

As a member of our youth, I also went on pilgrimage 20 years ago, for the centennial of our Father and Founder and to the encounter with our beloved John Paul II, and I get so emotional I cry when I see the pictures of a youth that is not dead, but is alive with the mission that our Father and Founder left us and with the Church around the shepherd that is building the kingdom…To know that our daughter Javiera is there is a great joy, of yearning and of hope for us.

"You can feel it, you feel it, Father is here", we shouted 20 years ago at the centennial of his gift to the world..and the same thing comes to mind when I see the pictures and read the articles that schoenstatt.de gives us today, 20 years later. Thank you…!
