Dear Schoenstatt Family and friends:

I hope that this new year 2010 has already found you blessed! There are many things going on this month as we open a new year of Providence in God's unfolding of our Schoenstatt mission in Austin.

First, Covenant Mass and Covenant Adoration will both happen as usual. Covenant Mass is this weekend! Please bring a dish to share. We want to continue our Capital of Grace as movement in the new year by lifting up Covenant Adoration hours for our Shrine! (Don't forget to mark the hours with the jar of stones in the Chapel).

Also, on Sunday, January 24th we want to come together for a Day of Discernment concerning our Bethlehem Shrine in Austin. Everyone's presence is called for, so that as a movement we can discuss, discern, and pray towards a united answer to the questions surrounding the building of our Shrine. The schedule is so far set for 10-5, including mass and lunch. Please attend what you can! (and feel free to bring the kiddos, baby sitting will be provided!). More details to follow.

May God's will be done in our lives and in our community in 2010!

Yours in the heart of the Blessed Mother,

Rachel Gardner
Communications Coordinator
