It was twenty-five years ago on December 10, 1999, that we gathered as Schoenstatt family and friends at St. Teresa’s Church here in Lincoln to offer a crown to our Mother Thrice Admirable, Queen and Victress of Schoenstatt. We were blessed to have Bishop Brusketwitz as the main Celebrant and the one who crowned the future picture for our Shrine with the petition: Please show us where you want us to build your Shrine in Nebraska.
We know what a powerful intercessor the Blessed Mother is at the throne of her Son
when we crown her. We experienced her marvelous care in that crowning twenty-five years ago – we received the land in Crete as a gift from the diocese and the Shrine was built through the generous donation of a couple from Minnesota.
Now for twenty-five years we have been richly blessed in many ways with the
COR MARIAE SHRINE
as a Marian pilgrimage place serving our diocese and beyond.
Please join us on December 7th at the Shrine in Crete for the Holy Mass at 9:00 am and the re-crowning of our Cor Mariae Queen. Following, please join us for a little Advent “hour” following a brunch.
Thank you for joining us in giving thanks for our many gifts!
Sr. Marie
