We are a Catholic religious congregation of priests and brothers whose mission is to share the riches of God’s love manifested in the Eucharist. The Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament was founded in Paris, France, in the year 1856 by Father Eymard. All his life, he searched for an answer to the deep spiritual hungers of his day, and he discovered it in the Eucharist. Inspired by this sacrament,
he inaugurated a new way of life in the Church, one completely shaped by the Eucharist celebrated, contemplated, and lived in communion. We respond to the reality of God’s love in the Eucharist by a “gift of self” to God and others. By prayer before the Blessed Sacrament and an active apostolic life, we strive to make Christ in the Eucharist better known and loved. We live together and work together to show the fruits of the Eucharist. Prayer for Vocations:
Loving God our Father,
your servant Saint Peter Julian Eymard,
who was captivated by your Son’s love
as revealed to us in the Eucharist,
greatly desired to manifest this love
to his contemporaries. He established a new form of religious life
which is nourished by the Eucharist:
celebrated, adored,
and enriched with ministries of all kinds. Through his intercession,
call forth many young people
who will labour in your Church
as priests, brothers or sisters. Give us the grace
to become like the bread of the Eucharist
which is broken for the life of the world.
