"May Our Lady grant you the grace of being at home in Schoenstatt"
  - Fr. Joseph Kentenich

The foundation stone is inscribed with these words. We wish to offer our guests and visitors a natural and supernatural home in Schoenstatt.

Ballencleroch house first opened in 1995. The house is a regional centre of the International Schoenstatt movement. Every centre can be recognised by two special features, the Formation Centre and the Schoenstatt Shrine. For more information on the Shrine → click here.

The Formation centres are places of education and spiritual formation which offer a wide range of facilities for Individuals and groups.
