Precious Blood Peace and Justice Grants

For many years, both the former Cincinnati and Kansas City Provinces awarded annual grants to organizations that served the marginalized. From that good work, the United States Province is happy to announce that its Precious Blood Peace and Justice Grants will be available this year to organizations that are working to promote peace and justice, safety and hope, sustenance and life in the Spirit, for all of God’s children.

Introducing the new symbol for the United States Province

Elements of the design include the cup, cross, and covenant. The wine that is filling the cup is both flowing in, representing God’s Spirit infused into the Community, and flowing out to the world. It shows movement, because “Missionaries are not statues,” as St. Gaspar said.
“This process has allowed us once again to talk about who we are and how to present that to the world,” said Fr. Jeffrey Kirch, C.PP.S., provincial director. “I appreciate the input of the council and of those four Missionaries who talked so vividly about their vocation and the identity of the Congregation that we all love. The new symbol was born out of all of that. I hope we can embrace it.”

How Am I Called to a
Precious Blood Life?

“Following the example and inspiration of St. Gaspar, our Precious Blood Community is called to fan into a flame the renewal today. He challenges me to not grow weary, but to stay energized about the mission of evangelization and renewal.”

– Fr. Ron Will, C.PP.S

“I feel privileged to be invited into people’s lives through the sacraments, whether it is at the beginning of life or the end of life, during an illness of body or soul,  or regular communion. These moments are truly grace-filled moments.”

– Fr. Mark Yates, C.PP.S.

“As Precious Blood Missionaries, we see Christ’s shedding of his blood as a call to breach walls that divide, make openings where ‘two (or more) can walk abreast,’ and to stand in solidarity with those who suffer injustice in the world.” – Fr. John Wolf, C.PP.S.

“As Missionaries of the Precious Blood, we are called also to share our light with all people. Every human person is important and has value. Our light loses nothing by sharing it. As we share our light, it becomes even brighter.” – Fr. Joe Miller, C.PP.S.
