Pilgrim Shrines Blessed at Annual May Crowning
Each year during the May Crowning at Mount Schoenstatt, Missionaries of the Schoenstatt Pilgrim Mother Apostolate (SPMA) are invited to place their Pilgrim Shrines near the altar, where they are displayed alongside the Auxiliary Shrine. This creates a beautiful expression of love, dedication, and commitment to the Blessed Mother and to her mission of leading countless hearts to her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
During the celebration, Father Marcel Mouras blessed the Pilgrim Shrines so that, in turn, they may carry the graces of the Cor Unum in Patre Shrine into the homes they visit. Through this blessing, the Pilgrim Mother continues her journey—bringing Christ, peace, and hope to families throughout our community.
Praying with the Pilgrim Mother in La Vernia
A group of Missionaries and Receivers came together in prayer at St. Ann - La Vernia to pray the Holy Rosary in honor of Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen and Victress of Schoenstatt. The rosary was led by SPMA Missionary Yolanda Gonzalez.
Schoenstatt Holy Hour Every 2nd Wednesday at St. Jerome’s
The rosary at St. Jerome’s Schoenstatt Holy Hour in March was led by a 10-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy, children of receivers of the Pilgrim Shrine (traveling shrine of the Schoenstatt Pilgrim Mother Apostolate).
Every second Wednesday of the month, St. Jerome Catholic Church is dedicating its weekly Holy Hour and Rosary to our Mother Thrice Admirable.
