The
Community of the Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood
is a contemplative community of Pontifical right founded
in 1861 by Catherine Aurelia Caouette
in St. Hyacinth, Canada. Today there are 19 monasteries
of the Precious Blood. Six of these are autonomous houses
joined together in the American Federation; four belong
to the French Generalate of Canada and seven belong
to the English Generalate of Canada. Two independent
monasteries are located in Japan.
Devoted to a life of contemplation, the mottoes of the
community are: "Adoration, Reparation
and Suffering" and "Fidelity, Constancy and
Generosity" The sisters' life of prayer is a true
living of the gospel and it is in every way apostolic.
Directing all their energy toward a deepening of their
relationship with God, their life together in community
witnesses to the Presence of God here on earth. The
Catholic Church depends upon contemplative communities
and on their intercession for the needs of the world.
The
community observes Constitutional Enclosure with limits
on the cloister defined in the community's Constitutions.
The Sisters are permitted to leave the enclosure for
genuine spiritual and physical needs. This includes
a yearly home visit.
Far
or near, you are forever remembered in our prayers!
We would love to share our spirituality with you or
answer any questions you may have about our community.
May the Precious Blood of Jesus be the source of all
your Joy in a world searching for happiness!
