Montfortian secular institutes

Montfortian secular institutes are communities of laypeople—ordinary men and women—who dedicate their lives to serving others and living out their faith while remaining engaged in daily life and work. Inspired by Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort’s teachings on devotion to Mary, they commit to living gospel values in their professional and social environments, maintaining a spiritual union with God through prayer and service. Unlike monks or nuns, they do not take vows of poverty or cloistered life, but they voluntarily dedicate themselves to personal holiness and active apostolate within society.
