On August 12th, 1989...

during the apparition in the crypt at the Cenacolo, Maria said:

'I will bless your little community that will be born here.'

Since then, a small group of men has been formed, who have decided to give their whole life to the service of God and of their brothers, living in fraternal communion, under the patronage of Mary Queen of Love, and putting themselves at the service of the works of the Marian Movement.

-

Since 1992... 

the community, known as the 'Little Family of Mary Queen of Love' 

resides in the building called the 'Little Work of Love'.

Piccola Opera...

On July 12th, 1995... 

during an apparition in the chapel of the Little Work of Love, Our Lady said:

'I also want a house to be prepared to welcome My daughters into it, who will serve my works.' 

This house, renamed Casa Betania, is destined, according to Mary's desire, to welcome lay women... 

who wish to consecrate themselves to Jesus and Mary, in a fraternal life of community.

-

Thus, Casa Betania is the female correspondent of the Little Work. 

Located next to Casa Annunziata, it gathers those girls who wish to discover their vocation to marriage or religious life, and in the meantime decide to live in community, following a small rule, and making themselves useful in the various services and needs of the Movement: Radio, Casa Annunziata, Casa Nazareth, Cenacle etc. 

Hospitality and availability is their motto... 

in the context of the Marian spirituality... 

of the Queen of Love.
