October 12: 10^th anniversary of the death of Fr. Esteban Uriburu

 On October 12, it is ten years of the death of Fr. Esteban Uriburu, Schoenstatt Father from Argentina, who became the instrument to make the Schoenstatt Rosary Campaign international. Meeting John Pozzobon in Santa Maria (while writing a book on the Visits of Father Kentenich to Latin America) he discovered that the Schoenstatt Rosary Campaign was offered to Schoenstatt as a stream of life and grace that would help it reach out to the people and sprad it to the ends of the earth. From this moment on, he dedicated his life to not only spread the Schoenstatt Rosary Campaign to new countries, but to also form a circle of people who would understand the deep impact and the holiness of this new initiative of the MTA in view of Schoenstatt's mission and future.

May he from heaven now intercede that the Schoenstatt Rosary Campaign of the Pilgrim MTA and the holy heritage of John Pozzobon will always find instruments that are ready to serve it selflessly and faithful to ist origin.
