Schoenstatt Movement of Austin

The Schoenstatt Shrine is my favorite place to be in Austin! When I first had a glance of this place, my breath was taken away! The Schoenstatt Shrine is perched upon a beautiful hill overlooking parts of Austin. Coming from the flatlands of Houston, TX, I was in awe of the gorgeous sight! When I’m in need of some peace and silence, I head straight to the shrine. Sitting on the steps of the shrine and looking out at the beautiful view, I can’t help but smile at how God’s creations can be so magnificently indescribable.
The first time I came to the shrine, it was for adoration. I’ve been to adoration many times at different parishes, but nothing compares to my experience at the shrine. I enjoy being able to close me eyes and feel the wind with the shrine doors opened. It helps me to be at peace and makes me feel as if it’s just Jesus and I there in the chapel. Not only are the adoration events spiritually refreshing, but so are the Sunday masses at 11am! Every week you can celebrate mass outdoors with some of the most inspiring and genuine people!
The shrine is a place to spend time with Mother Mary, a place for reflection and a place to celebrate the goodness of God. The shrine is a home away from heaven!

The Schoenstatt Shrine is an escape for some, and a home for all. It is a place where you can experience the Lord truly present in a chapel dedicated to His Mother. There is always someone here to explain more about the Movement if you are interested, but come to see this chapel — in beautiful West Lake Hills!

The Schoenstatt Shrine is my favorite place in Austin. It’s difficult to describe the specialness of the Shrine in words, so I encourage you to go check it out for yourself. Anyone and everyone is welcome. I hope that you too may find a home in the beautiful chapel and loving community that cares for it.

Every time I enter the Shrine, I feel at peace. It becomes the one place where I can forget about everything that is going wrong in my life and focus on what genuinely matters; my relationship with God. I also go to mass on Wednesday mornings at 7am, and even though waking up is always a struggle, I never regret it because there is just something special about celebrating mass in such an intimate setting.

The Shrine is being dedicated today, 9÷13÷2014. It is a great place for prayer, meditation & healing. It is a beautiful & peaceful place to check out of the daily grind & stress to help you in your intimate communication with the Trinity & the Blessed Mother.
