Precious Blood Lay Association (USC)
Mission Statement:
The work of the Union is primarily aimed at deepening and spreading the spirituality of the association. Events and celebrations, pilgrimages, vigils, journeys of Christian formation and growth in the faith are organised for members to build spiritual communion in the association and growth in the faith.
The association in Rome, together with the Missionaries of the Most Precious Blood, runs the Sanguis Christi Study Centre which carries out theological research into the spirituality of the Blood of Christ. They issue several publications. There are also groups that offer service through activities that are missionary, cultural (theatre, art and music) and charitable and social.
In Poland, the association supports the publishing house 'Pomoc' and the Shrine of the Blood of Christ in Czestochowa, as well as the charitable work of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood.
Among the activities of the association there is the work of the Perpetual Masses, an association of solidarity in prayer carried out by the Sanguis Christi Union which received the approval of Pope Leo XIII.
