Bishop Ricardo Hoepers’ testimony expresses a profound experience of faith: “There are so many people in the Diocese of Rio Grande who share in the experience of the Mother and Queen visiting their homes, that this has convinced me that the presence of the Virgin of Schoenstatt within the families is the surest way for a diocese, for a particular Church, to evolve and, above all, to be strengthened in the faith”.

“My appointment was made public on May 31st, in it we see the challenge of collaborating with the Blessed Mother so that organic thinking, living and loving may become a reality.
