A small group of Sisters of Mary and a vast continent to be explored: this is how the history of the Schoenstatt Movement in the Americas began. On June 10, 1935, the first 12 Sisters, sent by the Founder, Father Joseph Kentenich, landed in Brazil, bringing with them an immense world to introduce to the new continent.
Father Kentenich turns around in the Shrine. Tears run down his cheeks. He has been forbidden to speak to the sisters, and he gives them his blessing. A story of fidelity, surrender, cross and victory. Next January 20th, Argentina will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the blessing of the Father Shrine, its National Shrine.
