context_page_description: John Pozzobon was a Catholic permanent deacon and the starter of the Schoenstatt's Pilgrim Mother Campaign, today present in more than 100 countries in the world. His beatification process is ongoing.
context_section_description: It is in 1947 that his life crosses the path of the Schoenstatt Movement. He begins his journey of spiritual formation with the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary and Father Celestino Trevisan. He participates in the blessing of the foundation stone of the Schoenstatt Shrine in Santa Maria. In this ceremony is present Fr. Joseph Kentenich, founder of Schoenstatt. This fact will mark him forever: "I felt like a little pupil of Father Kentenich," said Pozzobon later. "Since when I was twelve I felt a void, a lack of something I did not understand. But from that time, I discovered that it was the lack of God and His Mother."
  John sealed his Covenant of Love with Mary on 11 April 1948, the day of the blessing and inauguration of the Shrine in Santa Maria.
