We are diocesan priests in our diocese
We belong to Schoenstatt
an international spiritual movement within the Catholic Church.Along with us, twenty-five other groups are part of the Schoenstatt Movement:
Priests, Women, Men, Families and Youth.Each group is legally independent
- the founder: Father Joseph Kentenich and his original spirituality
the founding day: October 18th as the origin of the whole Movement
A new approach to Mary and the orientation toward her person and mission.- The love for the Church expressed in a committed co-responsibility.
- Missionary commitment to the renewal of the Church and a new Christian culture.
Together with the other Schoenstatt priestly communities, we strive in the Priests’ League for the formation and integral development of the priestly personality.
Under the protection of Mary, we find home and security in the conflicts of a pluralistic and secularized world.
In covenant with Mary we collaborate in the new evangelization of the Church on her way through the third Christian millennium.
From the “faith of Providence”:
Seeking and finding God in all things, events and people.From the “workday sanctity”:
Shaping everyday life out of love for God and peopleFrom the “Covenant of Love”: Living the covenant with God in a concrete way with Mary.
From the spirituality of Father Joseph Kentenich
From the attachment to the spiritual center of the Schoenstatt Movement, the Shrine of the Blessed Mother.

It gives us

– Pastoral impulses for the pastoral ministry

- An annual theme takes up current questions, which we try to answer from the charism of the founder
