History
It was established by Henri Roy in 1939 in Manchester, New Hampshire.[1] A secular institute is an organization of individuals who are consecrated persons (professing the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty and obedience) and live in the world, unlike members of a religious institute, who live in community.
