Fraternité Notre-Dame

Fraternité Notre-Dame is a traditionalist Catholic order of priests and nuns that is not in union with the Pope.

The origins of Fraternité Notre-Dame are in the reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Fréchou, France.

The order operates soup kitchens and weekly food pantries in Paris, New York City, Ulan Bator, Chicago, and San Francisco.

[3][4] Additionally, a hospital for the poor has been opened in Mongolia, and it has also operated humanitarian convoys to benefit those victimized by war in Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Rwanda.

[2] Since then Fraternité Notre-Dame nuns have become a fixture at numerous Chicago area farmer's markets selling traditional French pastries to raise funds for the group.
