Teams of our Lady is structured on a collegial basis. The international team has overall responsibility for the movement, and comprises married couples from different countries assisted by a spiritual counsellor. Each of the member teams is composed of between five and seven couples and a spiritual counsellor, and they remain in contact with one another through a responsible couple which presides over the team. The team votes for its Responsible Couple every year. Teams in the same town (or geographical area) make up one or more sectors, and the sectors make up regions. The life of the movement depends entirely upon the voluntary offering of time, effort and resources by the couples themselves. They work to develop the movement particularly in the geographical areas where large distances and low incomes are likely to cause a serious obstacle. In the Region of Canada, Teams of Our Lady is organized into Sectors. These Sectors are officially established. There are more areas in Canada that have Teams, they are called pre-Sector areas.
