From the very beginning, our Father Founder worked with lay people, men and women, married and unmarried, young and old, to further the kingdom of God.  In his spirit we too offer many ways in which you can join us.

If you are discerning a religious vocation and are interested in possibly becoming a Missionary Sister of the Precious Blood, please contact the Sister in the area applicable to you.  We have international formation houses in Africa, Europe and North America.

In nearly all our provinces, CPS Associates, lay men and women, share their talents and services to help us spread the redeeming love of Christ and bring reconciliation and hope in our world. They are united with us in prayer and mission.

In North America, the Pfanner Lay Mission Companions (PLMC) are dedicated women, men and/or families who have been called to follow Jesus through a commitment in another culture and/or country.  They hope to create solidarity links and assist in making the Kingdom of God more visible. Learn more

In Germany, we are very engaged in the project Missionaries for a Time (MAZ) which gives young people the opportunity to work for a time together with us in one of our projects. Learn more

 

Third Week of Lent
God’s call to conversion
God patiently calls us to conversion. He invites us to bear fruit through humility, forgiveness, and faithful love.
As we continue our Lenten journey, we are encouraged to trust in God’s mercy, forgive others, and live our faith sincerely each day.

We give thanks for the gift of women in the world.
As religious women, we are called to witness God’s love through service, compassion, courage, and fidelity to our mission.

May our lives continue to be a sign of hope, justice, and dedication, especially to those who are most in need.

Happy Women’s Day.

The Second Week of Lent 2026
emphasizes that true transformation
begins within. Just as Jesus revealed
His glory after inviting the disciples
to climb the mountain and listen to the Father’s voice, Lent calls us to step out of comfort and grow through prayer, silence, and honesty. It is not an escape from reality but a preparation to face it with faith and courage. This season invites us to open our hearts, listen more deeply, trust more fully, and walk faithfully toward Easter.

We are invited to follow
Christ more closely.
In His humanity, Jesus
was tempted but did not give in.
The devil presented every
possible option to make
He succumbed, yet He remained
steadfast and faithful
to the Father. This reminds us
that we are not called to
rely on ourselves or to
gratify our own abilities.
Instead, we are invited to
trust in God’s constant
help and His faithful
presence, especially in
moments of temptation.

Lent provides us with a perfect opportunity to
“begin again” in our lives as religious women.

Our lives as CPS are rooted in the
continual flow of life, death and resurrection
– the continual dying
and rising with Jesus –
in our own lives and in the lives of those
to whom we minister and meet daily.
But before we can be women of reconciliation
for those to whom we minister and encounter,
we must first be women of reconciliation
among ourselves.

“If no one goes, I go!”
These courageous words of our Founder,
continue to echo in our hearts today.
They remind us that our vocation as
Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood
is rooted in availability, sacrifice and love
without limit.

In this lent season, we are invited to
renew our personal response to Christ,
to go where we are needed, 
to serve even in difficulty and 
to offer ourselves more
deeply to God’s service.

lent is our time to say again,
with faith and courage…

Lord, I go!
