ADMINISTRATION
"For any work to become divine service, it must be taken up with pure intention and performed with conscientiousness and care." (Inner Spirit) "You are a letter from Christ written not with ink but with the Spirit of the Living God."
(2 Corinthians 3:3)
AGRICULTURAL WORK
"Creation is not some possession that we can lord over for our own pleasure; nor, even less, is it the property of only some people, the few: creation is a gift, it is the marvelous gift that God has given us, so that we will take care of it and harness it for the benefit of all, always with great respect and gratitude." (Pope Francis, General Audience, 21 May 2014)
DOMESTIC WORK
"In the light of faith, a sister should endeavor to regard everything as the concern and property of God. If she is in charge of domestic duties in the convent, she should bear in mind that she is cooking, sewing, washing etc. for God’s family. If she is in charge of the garden or some other work outside, she likewise administers God’s property." (Inner Spirit)
EDUCATION
We minister to the needs of students, families and co-workers at all levels of education.
HEALTH
We care for the sick and frail in hospitals, clinics and dispensaries, people with disabilities in rehabilitation centres and homes, and the elderly in nursing and retirement homes. "Wherever we are, it must be evident that we are moved by that love which urged Christ to empty himself and shed his blood for us. We are missionaries everywhere." (Const. 514)
“Pray and Work” shall be the irrevocable principle of a Missionary Sister of the Precious Blood. She will be conscientious in any activity assigned to her, such that even her work will become a continuous worship of God." (Inner Spirit)
LITURGICAL ART AND HOST BAKERY
"Mary served Jesus in humility and modesty. Let us endeavor to imitate her inner sentiments." (Inner Spirit)
PASTORAL CARE
We work in parishes, episcopal conferences and run retreat centers. We also provide chaplaincy services, pastoral counseling, spiritual direction, accompany the dying and journey with the bereaved. Teaching catechism classes, facilitating Bible study and conducting various pastoral programs is also part of our ministry.
MUSIC, ARTS AND CRAFTS
"There is no talent too humble or too high for the service of God."
(Abbot Francis Pfanner)
PRAYER APOSTOLATE
"In sickness and aging, we continue our mission by accepting our suffering and limitations with patience and love. Thus, in a special way we continue the missionary service of the Church and invoke the blessings of the Precious Blood on our Congregation and all missionary activity." (Const. 513) "Through zealous prayer and quiet sacrifice, the elderly and ill sisters also contribute to our renewal." (Mother Paula Emunds)
SOCIAL WORK
"Jesus did not simply let the poor listen to him, but he went out to seek them." (Abbot Francis Pfanner)
We serve the needs of street children and orphans, migrants and refugees, prisoners and victims of human trafficking, the disadvantaged and the vulnerable. We are engaged in various projects and are grateful for the support of many donors and charitable agencies who help us in our mission.
MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS
“Communication is part of God’s plan for us and an essential way to experience fellowship. Made in the image and likeness of our Creator, we are able to express and share all that is true, good, and beautiful. We are able to describe our own experiences and the world around us, and thus to create historical memory and the understanding of events. But when we yield to our own pride and selfishness, we can also distort the way we use our ability to communicate.”
We propagate the values of the gospel and witness to the precious blood of Christ through various media platforms.
