Missionaries of the Precious Blood

The Missionaries of the Precious Blood believe in the power of the blood of Jesus, shed for all, to change the world.

Pastors, teachers and preachers involved in many kinds of ministries, we encourage reconciliation in our homes, churches, workplaces, towns and cities. We want to help bring God's healing grace to the world.

Our priests, brothers and lay associates seek out God's people who are suffering from loneliness and despair, poverty and violence. Every person is a child of God. Every one.

Jesus Christ has redeemed all people with his Blood. It is our mission to help everyone draw closer to the God who saves us.
