We are an apostolic group of men whose ideal is to assist the Church in her efforts to form Christian communities whose center of life is the Eucharist. We commit ourselves to the implementation of this ideal in collaboration with lay persons engaged in Christian ministries.

The Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament was founded in Paris, France, in 1856 by a French priest, Saint Peter Julian Eymard. For 150 years, our priests, deacons, and brothers have reached all continents of the globe and continue the mission begun by St. Eymard, the Apostle of the Eucharist.  

Like St. Peter Julian Eymard, we want the Mystery of the Eucharist to be loved and lived in its fullness. We believe that Christ in the Eucharist has the power to effect a radical transformation in our society and in all people. The power of the Eucharist motivates and strengthens us to work for the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom on earth.

We proclaim the reality of God’s love in the Eucharist by our “gift of self” to Him and our brothers and sisters. By prayer in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament and an active apostolic life, we strive to make Christ in the Eucharist better known and loved.

In all that we do, Christ in the Eucharist is our inspiration and the center of our personal and community life. “We seek to understand all human reality in the light of the Eucharist, source and summit  of the life of the Church.” (Rule of Life No. 34)
