We are the Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette or La Salette Missionaries founded in 1852 by Bishop de Bruillard, Bishop of Grenoble in France and based on Mary’s message at La Salette. Our main purpose (gift or charism) is to preach the word of God, to exercise the Ministry of Reconciliation, to celebrate the Eucharist, and to heal the hurts and deepen people’s awareness of God's ongoing call to repentance. We are asked by Mary to “make her message known”, that is, the message of her Son.

Today's La Salette priests, sisters and brothers continue to care for the alienated and estranged by ministering to pilgrims at our shrines throughout the world, and serving the spiritual needs of God's people in retreat work, home and foreign missions, in parishes and schools, in youth ministry, counseling and teaching, as well as by serving as chaplains in hospitals and in the armed services. Wherever we minister, we make Mary’s message of reconciliation known to all God's people.
