Teams of Our Lady

An International Movement for

Christian Married Couples

The Movement began in Paris, in 1939, when a group of young couples asked their priest to help them explore the deeper meaning of Christian marriage.

They chose the title "Teams of Our Lady" because the first groups had been established in a parish dedicated to Our Lady, and because each group was likened to team that works closely together.

Today it is an international movement, with more than 100,000 members in more than 60 countries. A group of four to six couples,known as a team, meet together once a month. Although it is a lay movement, each team seeks the help of a spiritual counselor

They are ordinary couples, who are interested in strengthening their marriage and learning a little more about their faith. The movement encourages them to be a true Christian community and to help and support one another. A community that in many cases included mixed faith marriages.
