Father Joseph Kentenich (b.
16 November, 1885 – 15 September 1968) was a Pallottine priest and founder of the Schoenstatt Movement.
He is also remembered as a theologian, educator and pioneer of a Catholic response to an array of modern issues, whose teachings underwent a series of challenges from political and ecclesiastical powers.
He attempted to teach Christians how to live out their faith. Considered by many of those who came into contact with him to have been a saint, his case for sainthood is currently at the diocesan level in the Diocese of Trier, pending the compilation of his writings and correspondences.
