The Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen (Latin: Congregatio Mariae Reginae Immaculatae; CMRI) is a sedevacantist traditionalist Catholic religious congregation that is not in communion with the Holy See. The CMRI is dedicated to promoting the message of Our Lady of Fátima and the devotion of the practice of Total Consecration to the Virgin Mary as taught by Saint Louis Marie de Montfort. The CMRI was founded by Francis Schuckardt, but he was later expelled from the organisation due to allegations of sexual abuse and drug use.
The congregation lists over 90 traditional Catholic churches and chapels both in the United States and abroad, as well as at least 13 schools staffed by religious.
