He entered the Order of Friars Preachers in the Rue St. Honoré, in 1622, and was in due time made master of novices first in his own monastery, at Avignon in 1634, and later prior of the convent at Paris.
In 1639, Le Quieu established a religious house for women, exclusively devoted to the practice of Perpetual Adoration at Marseille.
The definitive establishment took place in 1659-60, when Etienne de Puget, Bishop of Marseille, erected them into a congregation.
The final formalities for the approval of the order having been concluded in Rome (1680), Pope Innocent XI expedited a papal brief, which could not be put in execution because of a change of bishop.

In consequence of the legal position of religious congregations in France, the Sacramentines of Marseille were obliged to abandon their monastery.
