In 1926, Father Joseph Kentenich founded the Secular Institute of the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary in Germany. In 1949, German members of the Secular Institute of the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary arrived in Madison, Wisconsin. Since then, the Community has expanded from Wisconsin to Minnesota, New York, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. The Sisters have staffed a Catholic grade school, built and staffed five retreat centers, built nine shrines, and staffed a hospital/nursing home complex. In February of 1993, they began working in the Lincoln Diocese. Today, over 400 people belong to the Schoenstatt Movement in the Lincoln Diocese.
