SCHOENSTATT, Martina Boixader. The work to repair the roof of the Pilgrims’ Church that was built in 1999 began on Saturday, March 3, 2007.

The workmen arrived at 8:45 a.m. and they prepared the work area by placing ladders around all the Church and its circular design that attracts attention. The Schoenstatt people are very excited about this new project, since the architecture of roof was not well built in 1999 and now it will be improved so that it will be better.

This has been possible thanks to the donations given by the Schoenstatt people. Those who donated more than 100 € were entered into a drawing for a trip to Rome, Italy. The drawing was held on Thursday, March 1st at 6:00 p.m., and Mrs. Theresia Dietrich won the prize.

After the repairs, the people will be able to attend Mass on a rainy day without rain falling within the church.

While the repairs are being done the church will be closed during the week, however, on Sundays it will be open for the Masses at 10:30 a.m. and at 6:00 p.m.

In spite of the construction, there is a full Lenten schedule that is offered by the pilgrims headquarters: Mass and talks, Stations of the Cross, journeys for children preparing for their First Communion, and retreats.

Come March 10, an Illuminated Rosary will be offered in the Adoration Church.
