The intention of the founders is to preserve the chapel on the Petit-Mont and to keep the memory of the builders of this chapel, Albert Cottier and his wife Lina Cottier-Vonlanthen, alive. Every year, a memorial mass is to be celebrated for them, all family members and friends of the founders. Furthermore, the foundation aims to promote and support the family relationships between the founder families. At least every five years, the descendants of the Cottier-Vonlanthen couple are to be called together to realize the purpose. The foundation does not pursue any commercial or profit-oriented purpose. The foundation is a family foundation that is not subject to state supervision and does not have to appoint an auditing body.
