The Religious Priests and Nuns of Fraternite Notre Dame are available to all those who need prayers and desire to entrust their intentions, and also to those who, young or not so young, think about the religious or priestly vocation.

Along with this life of prayer, Fraternite Notre Dame performs charitable works, keeping in mind these words from Saint Paul: "Faith without works is dead".

Fraternite Notre Dame has been working in Chicago, in a very poor area, for several years, in Austin, in the North-Western part of the city. The religious do not perceive any salary, but dedicate themselves wholly to this Work.Moral, material and physical misery prevails in most homes, broken up usually: separated or divorced parents, abandoned children or children hanging out in the streets, drug addicted people in every age group, elderly persons without a family and left to themselves, single mothers surviving miserably in stern shelters, … sorrowful sick people in their poor hospital beds, unable to move, not even to feed themselves…

Such an afflicting spectacle, which has moved the Heart of God; that is why
Bishop Jean Marie established a permanent Mission there, including a soup kitchen, where a hot, nutritious meal is served daily to all these poor adults and children.

A weekly food pantry program for families in difficulty, providing fresh produce and products, canned food, adapted to each person's needs (children, elderly people, the sick…)
