The Original Shrine is the cradle of the entire International Schoenstatt Work. It was here that the first Covenant of Love was sealed on October 18, 1914. Over the years, it has become the source of many graces that unite the whole world in a chain of Shrines. The Original Shrine is a place where many languages are spoken, and everyone understands each other as a family in a place of welcome, transformation, and fruitful mission.
