The Schoenstatt Movement was founded in Germany in 1914 by Fr. Joseph Kentenich. Schoenstatt means “beautiful place.” Schoenstatt’s mission is to assist in the Marian formation of the world in Christ. This mission is fulfilled in a special way through our Shrines and Retreat Centers. The Schoenstatt Shrine in Minnesota was dedicated in 1976 and bears the mission: Jubilee Family Shrine. Our retreat center was built in 1981, and a new addition to the facility was added in 2004. The primary purpose of our facility is to welcome pilgrims and groups to our Shrine, to offer a home and hospitality, and to facilitate the natural-supernatural experience of the Shrine. The large land, walking trails, and natural beauty of the lake and surroundings are meant to be a refuge for visitors, and a place of encounter with God.
