Missionary Hearts Mission and Ministry Society
Members of our major gift society will help ensure that the missions and ministries of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood remain strong and true to God’s call.
Whether in the U.S. or other countries, the heart of the city or among the fields, our mission is to reach out to the people of God, especially the poor, the lonely, the suffering, the alienated, and all those who need us the most.
Annual gifts will be used to educate and train priest and brother candidates, support our retired members, provide for the needs of our ministries, and support Missionaries of the Precious Blood in our foreign missions.
Members of our Missionary Hearts Mission and Ministry Society will be invited to donor events including a Lenten day of reflection and a fall memorial Mass for deceased family members; and be remembered in the daily prayers of the Community.

St. Gaspar del Bufalo
Annual gift of $10,000 or more
St. Gaspar del Bufalo (1786-1837) founded the Missionaries of the Precious Blood in 1815 in Giano, Italy. He believed that the Precious Blood of Jesus could save a Church and a world that was bruised and bleeding after the Napoleonic wars. St. Gaspar traveled throughout rural Italy delivering a message of redemption through the Blood of Christ to the people of God and inspiring his small band of followers. He gave his life ministering to the sick in a cholera epidemic in Rome in 1837.
