Missionaries of the Precious Blood

We are a Society of Apostolic Life with both priests and brothers. We share a common mission of service to the Church, live a community life, and are sustained by a spirituality of the Blood of Christ.

It is these three pillars –mission, community, and spirituality – which support our life and work together.

The C.PP.S. continues St. Gaspar’s ministry of the Word by preaching renewal and conversion through missions and retreats. They bring that love of God also to parishes, schools, hospitals, and prisons. As missionaries they work where the Church needs them most and where the Good News has not been heard.

Following St. Gaspar, we live together whenever the needs of the apostolate permit. A bond of charity unites us, allowing us to place our gifts at the service of the Church and one another. Our community houses serve as centers of prayer and reflection to renew us for service in mission.

Christ’s shedding His Blood was for St. Gaspar and is for us the sign of God’s great love for all people. This spirituality of the Blood continues to impel us to build community through the inclusion of the marginalized, to walk in solidarity with those who suffer, and to seek reconciliation in a divided world.

St. Gaspar reminded his missionaries, “unlike statues, missionaries are not motionless, they serve wherever God will call them.”
