Covenant of Love with Mary, at the service of work.
Schoenstatt is a Catholic movement founded in 1914 by Father Joseph Kentenich. Its spirituality is centred on the Covenant of Love with Mary, practical faith in Divine Providence and a pedagogy that forms free, strong and firm personalities.
The Shrine
Every Schoenstatt Shrine is a place of grace, where a special presence of Mary as Mother, Queen and Thrice Admirable Victress is lived. It was at the Shrine, in Lisbon, that we symbolically presented the founding deed of CIEES Portugal.
The Covenant of Love
At the heart of Schoenstatt spirituality is the Covenant of Love with Mary — a personal and communal commitment of mutual trust. We bring our small contribution of prayer, sacrifice and fidelity; from Her we receive the fruitfulness that transforms us and our mission in the world of work.
Kentenichian pedagogy
Father Joseph Kentenich’s pedagogy is a pedagogy of bonds, of personal ideal and practical faith in Divine Providence. It forms free, strong and firm personalities — able to live the Gospel coherently in everyday professional life.
What we propose
We are not a school and we do not deliver training courses. We propose self-education itineraries — personal and communal paths that each entrepreneur and executive walks, at their own pace, in community — complemented by retreats and encounters of reflection in the light of Schoenstatt spirituality.
- Personal self-education itineraries
- Retreats and reflection encounters
- Local sharing communities
- Spiritual accompaniment
