Since 4 July 2024, the government of the Community of Saint Martin has been accompanied by two Apostolic Assistants:

  • Mgr Matthieu Dupont, Bishop of Laval.
  • The Reverend Father François-Marie Humann, O.Praem., Abbot of Mondaye.

Appointed by the Holy See following the periodic pastoral visit carried out in 2022-2023, they have been given the mission of accompanying the Community for three years, particularly in reviewing the history of its foundation and the process of initial and ongoing formation of its members.
