La Brindille D'Or (The Golden Sprig), established 26 November 1920, provides financial assistance to the parents of fallen French soldiers by the Marquise de Saint-Vincent-Brassac.
At the time the state's assistance to parents was limited and insufficient for many elderly that often depended on their sons in retirement.
To strengthen the society Pope Pius (Pié) XI gave a gift (1924) in the form of a precious jewel ("broche").
Other known generous donor was Baron Joseph de Saint-Vincent at Chateau Las Lanès (Fontcouverte, Aude, FR).
La Brindille D'Or later inspired the formation of Little Brothers of the Poor (Les Petite Frères des Pauvres).
