The group took hold in the province of Québec and soon spread to francophone areas in Canada and the U.S. A house in Westport, MA was purchased and members settled in the area during the mid-1920's; but, they have since dispersed.
At the beginning of March 2009, a former member of the mission came forth and divulged her experience of 30 or so years as a member of the MISSION, which is now considered a sect and which is still flourishing in Québec. The Québec government has been "watching" the MIssion for several years because of their unauthorized schooling of members' children, but nothing seems to have been done thus far to shut down these schools.
