In 1846, at La Salette in France, the Blessed Mother appeared to two children. Speaking to them she told them to make her message to "make known to all my people." Inspired by Mary’s call for reconciliation with God, the Missionaries of La Salette were founded in 1852 as “ministers of religion” to be “faithful dispensers of the mysteries of God.” Their charism focuses on the Reconciliation and the Eucharist.

Today, The Missionaries of La Salette wear many hats ~ from caring for the spiritual needs of visitors to our shrines and members of parish communities to serving as chaplains, teachers, youth ministers and counselors. The Province of Mary, Mother of the Americas has over 200 members serving in the United States and Canada, as well as in Argentina and Bolivia, working together with bishops, clergy, parishioners, pilgrims, and others throughout North America and our mission region in South America. Reflective common prayer, celebration of the Eucharist, and faith sharing are essential to achieving our mission to make this message of reconciliation known to all people.
