Présentation de Marie

What Présentation de Marie does

Présentation de Marie is a French Catholic religious congregation founded in 1836 by Marie Rivier in Ardèche and headquartered at the Maison Mère in Bourg-Saint-Andéol (38 avenue Notre Dame). The congregation operates an integrated portfolio of services across two principal verticals: Catholic education (preschools, primary schools, colleges, high schools, and a hospitality lycée spanning regions including Auvergne, Ardèche, Tarn, Normandy, and others, with a BTS medical-administrative assistant training program launched in 2017 at Lycée Notre-Dame de Castres) and medico-social care (multiple EHPAD nursing homes in Bourg-Saint-Andéol, Brassac, and Rouen, plus the IME Marie Rivier medical-educational institute in Le Puy-en-Velay). The organization also runs formation/training services for staff and educators, pastoral animation, lay fraternities sharing the Marie Rivier charism, and the AMRS (Association Marie Rivier Solidarité) international solidarity association with missions in Peru, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Mozambique, and the Philippines.

The underlying technology is modest: a WordPress-based website (presentationdemarie.org) used for communications and resource distribution, supplemented by a Pearltrees resource-sharing page for animation materials and Facebook Live events for community engagement. No proprietary software, mobile applications, or AI/ML systems are in use. Operations are decentralized across geographically dispersed establishments coordinated through a Tutelle (governance) system for education and, since October 2021, a formal médico-social network with a dedicated coordonnateur and pilote.

The business model is that of a non-profit religious organization, not a commercial enterprise. Revenue streams include tuition fees from Catholic schools, French government funding for EHPAD and IME operations (via ARS, departmental, regional, and CARSAT channels), and charitable donations through AMRS. Go-to-market is direct community engagement rather than sales. Recent strategic activity has focused on consolidating the medico-social network, expanding institutional partnerships (CHIC Castres-Mazamet, ADEP, CAPS, ADMR, Fondation Caisse d'Epargne), launching intergenerational and social-protection initiatives, and adapting to demographic shifts — including the closure of long-standing sister communities such as Serrières.
