Founder
Fr. Joseph Kentenich
“I admired his openness, his concept of the Church by which he felt called to listen to the voice of the times, to question old and revered attitudes of the Church if they no longer seemed to communicate Christ’s message to the people of today. Possibly without being aware of it, he was a forerunner of Vatican II. However, everything he taught because of his love for the Church cost him a great deal of suffering… I believe that I met an authentic man of God, a saint.”
Cardinal Raul Silva
"Open your heart for the spirit of God, so that He may change the course of the world”
Fr. Kentenich, Founder of the Movement
