"Ultimately, I should like to be an imitator of Christ and Our Lady of Schenstatt: I am poor in everything, yet have everything."
~John Pozzobon, A Servant of God
"TAKE THIS PICTURE OF THE BLESSED MOTHER
AND GIVE IT A PLACE OF HONOR IN YOUR HOME.
THEN YOUR HOME WILL BECOME A LITTLE SHRINE
IN WHICH THE PICTURE OF GRACE WILL MEDIATE MANY GRACES,
CREATE A HOLY FAMILY ATMOSPHERE AND FORM HOLY FAMILIES."
~Father Joseph Kentenich ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In 1950, John Pozzobon, a member of the Schoenstatt Movement in Brazil, started to take the MTA picture into the homes of many people and prayed with them! The MTA picture is in a wooden frame and is shaped like the outline of the shrine and is carried from family to family and place to place bringing the blessing of the Schoenstatt shrine to many people. In thirty-five years, John walked over 85,000 miles and brought the picture of Mother Thrice Admirable (MTA) to families, schools, prisons and hospitals. This was the beginning of the Pilgrim Mother Campaign! Thousands of people in over 80 countries around the globe welcome the Pilgrim Mother Thrice Admirable of Schoenstatt shrine into their homes. Like Elizabeth, who welcomed Mary into her home and brought Jesus in her womb, Mary wants to carry Jesus into your home! You do not need to be in Schoenstatt to be part of the Campaign. In 1987, a Sister of Schoenstatt brought the first Pilgrim Mother Campaign MTA to Ohio. Ohio has 205 travelling Schoenstatt Shrines.
