A person can belong to Schoenstatt by joining the Apostolic League, the Apostolic Federationora Secular Institute.The criteria for joining depends on the degree of the apostolic, ascetical and community obligations to which one feels called. But we all unite in the charism: The Covenant of Love with Our Lady of Schoenstatt which is linked to the Shrine and to Father Kentenich; on the aims, the pedagogy and the spirituality of Schoenstatt.
