Our Mission

A Life Offered for Christ in His Priests

A hidden life of prayer offered completely for the sanctification of priests.

The Handmaids of the Precious Blood exist for one purpose: to intercede, sacrifice, and offer their lives so that priests may be holy. Every prayer, every hidden penance, is given for the sanctification of His priests and, through them, for the salvation of souls.

How Can We Pray for You?

You are never alone. Bring your needs, your sorrows, and your hopes to us in prayer.

Each day, our community lifts up the petitions of the faithful in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Share your intention with us, and let us carry it with you in silence and in hope.
