MISSIONARIES
OF OUR LADY OF LA SALETTE
The congregation of priests and brothers with simple vows devoted to
preaching missions and retreats, conducting parishes, shrines and
centers of devotion to Our Lady of La Salette.
Their origin began in the group of diocesan priest organized in 1852
by Bishop Philibert de Bruillard of Grenoble, France, to serve in the
church which was build on the site of the apparition. In 1876, the
first seminary was opened and the first priests left for Norway in
June 1880. In 1881, the major seminary moved to Switzerland and in
1896 to Rome. Two priests were sent to America in 1892 to begin a
seminary in Hartford, Cenneticut. In 1899, missionaries left for Madagascar.
Now we can find Missionaries of Our Lady from La Salette in 25
countries around the world preaching the message of Our Lady of La
Salette - the call to convertion and reconciliation.
