A congregation founded, 1866, at Saint-Antoine, France, by the Abbe Dom Adrien Grea, to combine the practises of ordinary religious life with the duties of the clerical state, and for the education of young clerics. Saint-Antoine is the motherhouse, but after the passage of the law banishing religious orders from France, the community was transferred to Andora Stazione, province of Genoa, Italy. The congregation has houses in France, Switzerland, Italy, Scotland, and Canada, and more than 100 religious.
