The Monastic Family of Bethlehem, of the Assumption of the Virgin and of Saint Bruno – or simply known as Monastic Brothers of Bethlehem and Monastic Sisters of Bethlehem – is a Roman Catholic institute of consecrated life that practices the Carthusian spirituality and was founded through the inspiration of a small group of French pilgrims on November 1, 1950, at St. Peter's Square (Vatican City), following the promulgation of the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven.[1] The Monastic Sisters were founded in France, soon after, and the Monastic Brothers in 1976.
