Marriage and Family
Place: Marian School, Schoenstatt (in connection with the Family Shrine and the Family House on Mount Nazareth)
Our central message: Be happy with family life and your calling as a couple to contribute towards the renewal of Church and society.
Our task as the Schoenstatt Family Movement: "... is to realize family morality which has been laid down in the encyclicals by the popes, to work out a useful family ascetic and pedagogy, to care for and pass on good family customs and in this way become a reservoir for all branches of the Schoenstatt Movement, to feed them and renew them.”
J. Kentenich, 1948
Logo: Wedding rings surrounded by the outline of a house which remind us of the source of our Christian marriage and family life: the sacrament of marriage, the covenant of love, the home shrine.
Letter from Santa Maria, 1948, the "founding document" for all family branches
