During WWII, the occupation of France and the commandeering of the house of Saint-Germain en Laye by the Germans caused the community to regroup in Pomeyrol.
It was only recovered, badly damaged, in 1946 and gradually restored with the support of Marc Boegner, the president of the Protestant Federation of France.
[3] Then, in 1950, Antoinette Butte founded the Pomeyrol Community, a women's religious order dedicated to prayer, and she remained in charge as their prioress until her retirement in 1975.

The transfer of powers was made in the presence of Emmanuelle Seyboldt, president of the United Protestant Church of France of which the community of Pomeyrol is a full member.
