Founded in 1815 by St. Gaspar del Bufalo, in Italy, the Missionaries of the Precious Blood is a religious society of priests, brothers and lay associates. Our charism is to offer the redeeming, healing power of the blood of Jesus to the whole world. We are called to preach and witness the Good News and are known for being down-to-earth. Our sense of charity and hospitality extends to all, especially those who are considered lost or hopeless by the rest of the world. we are a worldwide community of pastors, preachers, educators, chaplains, and serve in a variety of ministries. We serve in California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri Ohio, and Texas.
