The Prado spiritual family

Priests and Brothers

The Priests of Prado

The Association of Priests of Prado is a "secular institute" of pontifical right.. It is therefore not a religious Congregation. The Priests of Prado remain diocesan priests. Some, however, may be incardinated into the Institute to serve the Mission and to carry out Formation tasks, particularly for seminarians and priests. Priests of Prado are especially present in working-class areas and among the most disadvantaged.

After two years of trainingwithout leaving their ministries, they pronounce a temporary appointment then a perpetual commitment. They can also benefit from a Year of Prado training.

The Prado Brothers

Deeply attached to the charism of Father Chevrier, the Brothers of Prado are "consecrated lay people".. Within the Association, their constituted group forms a Fraternity, with its own particular organisation. Still small in number, they are present mainly in France and India.


The Sisters

It all began with Father Chevrier who, in the work of First Communion, had a few women ready to help him. And so the Sisters of the Prado.  These include, Marie Boisson (15/08/1836-20/11/1902), which became the first Head of the Sisters of Prado.
Today, they are a diocesan society of apostolic life. They are present in France and other countries around the world, including Spain, Chile, Madagascar, India, South Korea and Vietnam.

The precepts of the IFP : 

  • The grace of Prado constantly invites and calls us to follow Jesus Christ more closely in order to work more effectively for the salvation of mankind and the transformation of the world according to the Gospel.
  • In response to this call, we consecrate ourselves totally to God, living the evangelical counsels to be witnesses in our own communities to the Kingdom that Jesus came to proclaim to the poor and continues to proclaim to people today.
  • In the fullness of human life, we want to participate in the Church's mission of evangelisation - "To know Jesus Christ and to make him known...". Especially to the little ones, to make the Church exist with them and from them.
