Structure and Organization

The General Direction is headquartered in Switzerland. From it are coordinated the formation, apostolate, publications, and missionary works of the Pious Union.

Priests provide sacramental and spiritual assistance to the faithful according to local possibilities and needs. Particular care is reserved for regions where priestly presence, religious instruction, and necessary resources are scarce.

The formation of clergy constitutes one of the primary responsibilities of the Pious Union. Seminarians are trained in spiritual life, philosophy, theology, liturgy, Latin, traditional canon law, and disciplines necessary for the priestly ministry.

The faithful cooperate, according to their state of life, in the spiritual life and apostolic purposes of the work through prayer, catechesis, works of mercy, and support of the missions.

Alongside the male branch operates the female branch of Apostolic Missionaries Daughters of Mary Queen. Their life includes prayer, catechesis, care for children and the sick, works of mercy, the Marian apostolate, and collaboration in missions.

Sacred Scripture, apostolic Tradition, constant Magisterial teaching, Catholic theology, and traditional ecclesiastical discipline constitute the foundation of formation. Piety is not separated from doctrine, nor apostolate from interior life. Every work must proceed from prayer and lead to God.
