Purpose: To provide a community for those with a Schoenstatt Spirituality, and to invite others to experience the beauty of “everyday sanctity” under the guidance of our Blessed Mother.
GROW: Be Prayerful
Schoenstatt is an ecclesial Movement, where everyone, each according to his individual vocation and united in covenant, serves the Church and its mission and the world God has entrusted to us. The Schoenstatt Ministry at St. Gabriel fosters community within our community by rotating the Blessed Mother's Pilgrim Shrine from family to family, or from individual to individual. This group meets periodically and sponsors devotional events. To be a part of this ministry please contact the ministry leader.

a little beginning in troubled times...
Schoenstatt was born in 1914 on the battle front of a world war. A war that became the cradle for a Schoenstatt "that goes out" as Pope Francis says, which today knows and should respond to his call to go out "onto the streets." It goes out from the shrine in the small valley, from its own community bringing a hope that is not utopian, but is expressed through practical activities and evangelical projects that are life giving and restore the dignity of the human person, irrespective of where he finds himself. Even at the "peripheries," Schoenstatt is called to be there with all of the associated risks and dangers.
The core of Schoenstatt's foundation is the covenant of love with Mary, the Mother of God. This covenant of love generates culture and covenant culture is the unique expression of our way of life and work, our attachment to God, to people, to nature and culture, to the Church and the world, which always departs from the covenant of love. Schoenstatt's commitment to this covenant culture that inspires it to go out from the shrines to the existential peripheries to "sanctuarize" the world, as Pope Francis says.
