Parish Work
Work in parishes
Our work, besides the accompaniment and animation of the Schoenstatt Movement, schools and social works, also extends to the parishes. It is a direct insertion in the ordinary pastoral of the diocese. There we serve in the spirit of our charism in communion with the laity and consecrated persons for the benefit of those entrusted to us.
Before integrating into the work of the Movement, recently ordained deacons have a parish experience that introduces them to the different areas of ministry and priestly service.
A number of parishes in different countries are presently entrusted to the Schoenstatt Fathers. If you would like to know where, please take a look here:
