We crown Our Lady of Schoenstatt as Queen of our homes, as Queen of the Family, as Queen of our heart, as Queen of our physical and spiritual health. In time of financial crisis, as Queen of our work.

“The Mother Thrice Admirable was crowned Queen of Schoenstatt on December 10, 1939 as a plea that she protect Schoenstatt in those dark days of Hitler’s rule in Germany. The crown was a gift of the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary, and Fr. Kentenich himself did the crowning. It was the conviction of the Schoenstatt Family that the MTA fulfilled her part of the bargain, protecting the Shrine and Original Schoenstatt from any serious damage during World War II.” Text from the book written by Fr. Jonathan Niehaus, ISP, 200 Questions about Schoenstatt.
