On October 18, the 109th anniversary of the founding of the International Schoenstatt Movement was celebrated at the Original Shrine.
October 19, 2023
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.
On October 18, the 109th anniversary of the founding of the International Schoenstatt Movement was celebrated at the Original Shrine.
