General Announcements

Schoenstatt movement is active in archdiocese

Schoenstatt is a Catholic lay movement founded in 1914 in Germany, at a shrine dedicated to Mary near Koblenz, by Father Joseph Kenterich.

With a special focus on Mary, the movement seeks to bring about a spiritual and moral renewal in the faithful and in the world as a whole.

The Schoenstatt movement is present in 42 countries around the world.

In the archdiocese, retired Father Elmer Burwinkel shares the message of Schoenstatt regularly at Mary’s King’s Village Schoenstatt Center and the Divine Mercy and Glorious Cross Center in Rexville, located on 925 South approximately a mile east of U.S. 421 South and 12 miles south of Versailles.

The movement’s “Covenant Sunday” is celebrated there on the third Sunday of each month with Mass starting at noon then a holy hour and pitch-in dinner. The next Covenant Sunday is May 17.
