Girls Youth

Who are we?

The Schoenstatt Girls’ Youth was founded on August 15, 1931 in Germany and is now present in all continents, including Africa! In South Africa we are active in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban
In order to develop their identity, boys and girls need their own space, which they can grow. Youth needs a space that gives support and offers the possibility with their peers "to reflect" and to gain confidence! This is what the Schoenstatt girls youth offers!
Schoenstatt helps us as youth to make our faith our own. It helps us bring our faith into our daily lives.

Through the covenant of love, Mary becomes our educator as well as our Mother and Queen. Our world needs people who will stand for what they believe, people who know what they believe; people who believe in something good. Schoenstatt is a place of formation for these people. Mary will form us to into who we are.
