Awakening with Faith: The Madrugadores Apostolate of Schoenstatt Tampa Bay

About the Madrugadores Apostolate

The Madrugadores Apostolate is a unique movement within the Schoenstatt family that invites men to rise early in the morning to dedicate the first fruits of the day to prayer. Originating in Chile in 1989, the movement has since spread worldwide, inspiring men to deepen their faith and commitment to Christian values.

The Madrugadores apostolate group gathered inside a church, surrounding Father Carlos Rojas. They are engaged in prayer and fellowship, embodying a sense of community and spiritual dedication in a serene and sacred setting.

The Mission: Rising Early for Christ

The Madrugadores Apostolate encourages men to rise early, typically before sunrise, to gather in prayer and fellowship. This act symbolizes the dedication of the day’s first hours to God, nurturing spiritual growth and fortifying a deep-rooted faith.

Our Gatherings: Prayer, Reflection, and Fellowship

Our Madrugadores gatherings typically begin with the Holy Mass or a time of prayer in the Shrine. Following this, we share a time of reflection, often focusing on a particular theme or scriptural passage. The gathering concludes with a shared breakfast, fostering fellowship and community among our members.
