INTERNATIONAL: Father Pablo Pol. Surely everyone who regularly reads schoenstatt.de cannot help but marvel at everything that the Blessed Mother is doing around the world. We experience Father Kentenich’s very true words about the "glories of Mary". So many people, places and situations around the world are nourished by the Schoenstatt spirituality! There are so many initiatives and it is wonderful to learn about them through the Internet!

In this way we are all enriched with these experiences. We see how the Covenant of Love with the Blessed Mother becomes a reality in the entire world and how we, each one from his own place in the world, contributes to the great stream of life from which each daughter Shrine, wayside shrines, and Homeshrines the Blessed Mother wants to give as a sign of the life of God in the midst of the world.

This is a concrete and clear reality. Schoenstatt is becoming more and more international and we are a part of it; we can accompany it by learning about it, uniting spiritually to each place, contributing our capital of grace and feeling that we are co-responsible for it.

This would not be possible without people who are dedicated to this. The "Schoenstatt Press Office" is the center where the information that is received is coordinated; the articles are written, press releases are sent to different Catholic press and new agencies, etc.

We want the press office to continue the task which it carries out so wonderfully

Today this office needs each one of us. Many times we do not know how to help because of lack of information or not knowing how to make contact.

We want the press office to continue the task which it carries out so wonderfully. Schoenstatt has to respond to this call with the generosity and the conscience of responsibility which characterizes Father Kentenich’s children.

It is for this reason that on behalf of everyone who perceives the importance of the press office I am encouraged to invite all Schoenstatters and interested persons to:

  1. Concretely assume responsibility by contributing ideas, articles and their ability to help with translations or programming. We hope that schoenstatt.de can grow in making the message of the Covenant more as a model adapting to the new technologies, digital media, etc.
  2. To realize the importance of the economic needs so that this does not become a reason to curb its development. For this reason it is important that thousands of us collaborate so the press office can continue to move forward and to improve to a professional level and it can adapt to the times with technology. If we want to be signs of the times, we have to be willing provide the means so that from Schoenstatt we can also be "sign and reference" of time.
  3. Collaborate concretely with monetary donations to modernize the technical teams, to pay salaries to those who work there, to broaden the information services and to offer a service of a greater professional quality so the Schoenstatt message will reach more people

Some statistics that can help us to perceive the work of schoenstatt.de:

  • 8.000 visits per day
  • 130.000 monthly visits
  • 58 countries
  • 1 full time person (without salary)

  • 10 part time editors
  • 5 volunteers per year who offer several weeks to work in the Press Office ( in 2008 from the United States, Switzerland, Germany, Argentina)
  • 5 professional programmers (from Italy, Argentina, USA) who work voluntarily to transform the web page to the technology of Content Management System
  • 10 regional and national coordinators to collect, edit and coordinate articles
