You can also use this contact form:
The Fraternity lives from its work (reception, salaried activity of some members, religious crafts), from donations, and from the support of its friends and Messengers.
To discover the community's crafts, visit the website of the Workshops of Mary, Immaculate Queen.
The Fraternity
The Fraternity is composed of consecrated brothers and sisters, some of whom are priests.
Consecrated in the commitment to celibacy for the sake of the Kingdom, the members live an evangelical life in community, centred on the Eucharist, uniting the offering of their lives to that of Mary.

The House of Bois-le-Roi
The house in Bois-le-Roi is located at the gateway to the forest of Fontainebleau, south-east of Paris. It is the mother house of the Fraternity, where about twenty brothers and sisters live this simple and family life, punctuated by prayer, work and fraternal life.
We welcome you every day of the week, for special events or retreats.
