Missionaries of the Precious Blood
Cincinnati Province

Mission Statement

We, the Cincinnati Province of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood are an Apostolic Community founded in 1815 by St. Gaspar del Bufalo. We are united by a Bond of Charity and rooted in the Spirituality of the Blood of Jesus. We are called to participate in the on-going renewal of the Church and the realization of the presence of God among ourselves and the people we serve. In our willingness to be flexible and responsive to changing needs, we fulfill our mission through:

• supporting and nurturing one another
• embracing a life of prayer 
• calling forth the gifts of the laity and working
  in collaboration with them
• preaching and witnessing to the Word of God
• promoting conversion and reconciliation
• pursuing justice, ever mindful of the poor and
  marginalized.
