The Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament is a Catholic religious congregation of priests, deacons, and brothers whose ideal of life is to become living witnesses of the Eucharist, source and summit of Christian life. By their life and activities, they assist the Church in her efforts to form Christian communities whose center of life is the Eucharist. They commit themselves to the implementation of this ideal in collaboration with lay men and women engaged in various ministries.

The Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament whose original Latin name is Societas Sanctissimi Sacramenti (SSS) was founded in Paris, France, on May 13, 1856 by a French priest, Saint Peter Julian Eymard. As he searched for response to the needs and challenges of his time, he found the answer in the love of God manifested in a special way in his Eucharist. Captivated by this love, he traced out for his companions and contemporaries a new form of life in the Church.

In 151 years, SSS priests, deacons, and brothers have reached all continents of the globe and continue the mission begun by St. Peter Julian Eymard. Currently numbering a little less than a thousand religious, they are present in thirty different countries throughout the world.

Like St. Peter Julian Eymard, each SSS religious wants the Mystery of the Eucharist to be loved and lived in its fullness. Believing that Christ in the Eucharist has the power to effect a radical transformation in our society and in all people. The power of the Eucharist motivates and strengthens everyone to work for the establishment of Christ's Kingdom on earth.

Each SSS religious proclaims the reality of God's love in the Eucharist by their "gift of self" to Him and their brothers and sisters. By prayer in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament and an active apostolic life, they strive to make Christ in the Eucharist better known and loved.
