Schoenstatt

Haughhead is home to a Retreat Centre called Schoenstatt. The Schoenstatts Sisters of Mary was founded in Germany in 1926 by Father Joseph Kentenich and is one of six Secular Institutes belonging to the Schoenstatt family. They are a community of consecrated women who have committed themselves to surrender to god in the spirit of Evangelical Counsels.{{cite web|author=Catholic Online |url=http://www.catholic.org/featured/headline.php?ID=3282 |title=Schoenstatt Movement - Featured Today - Catholic Online |publisher=Catholic.org |date= |accessdate=2013-11-25}} At the present time, 2013, there are three sisters in the Schoenstatt in Haughhead.
