What is it about?
The Fraternite Notre Dame is an new Catholic devotional order dedicated to the Virgin Mary and based on its founder's frequent visions of the Virgin. The group began in France but became estranged from the Roman Catholic Church. The Fraternite relocated to Chicago, USA. It is not officially connected to the Catholic Church but operates independently.
