As a means of allowing priests, deacons, religious, and laity a way to share in our charism of prayer and sacrifice for priests, Mother established the Oblates of the Precious Blood in 1981 under the guidance of the Servant of God, Father John A. Hardon, SJ. She completed the implementation of the Perpetual Adoration Program for the Handmaids of the Precious Blood that had begun in 1977 as well obtaining our Pontifical Status as a Contemplative Community during the Pontificate of Saint John Paul II in 1992. She celebrated her Golden Jubilee of Vows in 2008 and entered into her eternal reward 31 August 2013.
