Our Name

Our full title is Congregatio Missionariorum Pretiosissimi Sanguinis Domini Nostri Jesu Christi (Congregation of the Missionaries of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ). We are known as Congregation of the Precious Blood, Society of the Precious Blood, and—most commonly today—Missionaries of the Precious Blood.

The letters C.PP.S., which members use after their name, is the abbreviation for Congregatio Pretiosissimi Sanguinis. Our full title reflects the three "pillars" of community, mission, and spirituality which support our life and work together.
