The Community of the Lamb

“A NEW BRANCH
ON THE TREE
OF THE ORDER OF PREACHERS”

(fr. Vincent de Couesnongle o.p.)

The community of the Lamb was recognized on Feb 6th 1983 by Mgr Jean CHABBERT, then archbishop-bishop of Perpignan; and on July 16th 1983 on the day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel as a “new branch on the tree of the Order of Preachers” by Fr. Vincent de COUESNONGLE O.P., then Master of the Order of Preachers.Since June 29th 1996, Mgr Christoph SCHÖNBORN, archbishop of Vienna (Austria) is the bishop in charge of the community.

The Community is in fact a Public Association of Faithful in view of becoming a congregation.
