Here is a picture of a Schoenstatt (Schonstatt) Shrine in Scotland from what I know, these little Chapels are basically the same everywhere. For more: Schoenstatt Shrine | Schoenstatt Scotland Schoenstatt in Nebraska, USA. (more: Schoenstatt Shrine of Nebraska — Clark Architects Collaborative 3 (clark-architects.com) (At least two of these are in Texas, Austin has one and there are others in North America). Here one can read about the one in Austin, TX, Home — The Schoenstatt Movement of Austin (schoenstatt-austin.us) ... I thought once I saw an article on the smallest Church in the US, that one was in Texas, Catholic I think... that's for another time. Philippines: Nice song from the Shrine. At least, one of the Nuns where I was, was probably a Filipina. Great faith over there. They all have similar alters inside and have the painting of the symbol of their movement, "Mother Thrice Admirable" (though the original name of this work may be different, they call it "Mother Thrice Admirable"), More here: The Mother Thrice Admirable (MTA) - Schoenstatt's picture of grace – Schoenstatt.org All of the altars appear similar, I did see one that was mainly what appeared marble but most pictures I have seen and the one I visited had this ornate woodwork. They have tried to build these all around the world, it seems most are in Europe and South America but Australia, Asia, Africa, North America all have some of these. This map shows where they are if one follows the link: Map of the Shrines – Schoenstatt.org There sure seem like a lot of them and they all must be these very small chapels. I think they are all styled after an original little church in Germany. Schonstatt was founded by Father Joseph Kentenich of Germany: Wikipedia and yes, he did spend some time as a prisoner in a Nazi Camp: Joseph Kentenich - Wikipedia I believe sources say the "Schonstatt Apostolic Movement" was founded in 1914. He was born in 1885 and passed on in 1968. Looks like the wikipedia article says Father Kentenich's life was saved by the Kapo (in charge of inmates) in Dachau. Towards the end of the article, there is a bit on Father Kentenich being accused of "improper conduct", nothing yet, has come from those accusations which are denied. Also, a cause for Sainthood has been opened for him. I've read a book or two on all of this, I've read numerous webpages that seem to be plentiful on all of this....it appears they have their own channel, there is a Schonstatt TV! This appears to be a webcam of the original church in Germany: These Shrines may well have additional buildings, welcome centers?? I can't remember, I thought they had something but it was closed that day but the chapel was not. Despite checking into all of this, I have never gotten a real handle, a real understanding on this movement. If one can not get to the Shrine, the Shrine may come to you! I think that is the point where there are quite a number, 200 more per this video.... Very nice...
