Missionaries of the Precious Blood United States Province

Priests and Brothers

Missionaries of the Precious Blood priests and brothers share a commitment to reach out to those who are lost or forsaken. They are encouraged to follow God’s call in the tradition of our founder, St. Gaspar del Bufalo, to serve the people of God in ways that will invigorate God’s Church. Our priests and brothers live as a family and find in each other the support and friendship that sustains them in their ministries.

Precious Blood priests take great joy in celebrating the sacraments and in serving God’s people in a variety of ministries which include pastors, preachers, teachers, reconcilers, authors, retreat leaders, and chaplains. 

Precious Blood brothers serve the people of God as teachers, preachers, artists, chaplains, vocation ministers, musicians, and sacristans, to name a few. They serve in parishes, schools, and hospitals, or wherever God calls them.

No matter where and how they serve, Precious Blood priests and brothers are missionaries. They also live as one with the people they serve, rolling up their sleeves and getting to work. 

Through a ministry rooted in the Word of God, they promote human dignity, justice, peace, and the integrity of creation.
