Called to be a Member of the Aggregation
Members of the Aggregation of the Blessed Sacrament are ordained priests, deacons, lay Catholic women and men, single or married, who share in the Eucharistic vocation developed by Saint Peter Julian Eymard. Members commit themselves to be disciples and apostles of the Eucharist, supporting each other through the sharing of prayer and faith in regular meetings. They participate fully in the liturgy of the Eucharist, in personal prayer in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, and engage in a variety of ministries to manifest the fruit of worship and prayer.
Members partner with the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in proclaiming the riches of God’s love in the Eucharist.
After a period of formation and discernment, they make a public covenant with a promise to place the Paschal Mystery of Christ’s self-giving in the Eucharist at the center of their life. To grow as covenanted people, the members gather often to pray together, encourage one another, and grow in their understanding of the Eucharist.
In partnership with the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, members form communities of friendship and faith whose center of life is the Eucharist celebrated, contemplated, proclaimed, and lived. This companionship with the congregation is expressed through active engagement in its mission of eucharistic evangelizing; through liturgical ministries and parish service, Communion ministry to the aged and infirm, promotion of eucharistic adoration, Life in the Eucharist programs, parish missions, outreach to the poor, and other ministries.
Formation as a member of the Aggregation of the Blessed Sacrament is ongoing and designed to help the member live and grow as a witness to the Eucharist.
Members of the Aggregation
share in the charism of an authentic Eucharistic spirit
in accord with the spirituality and the mission of the Institute itself.
To foster this purpose, we take part in the initiatives of national and international formation and meetings arranged at the local and general level
of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament,
Servants of the Blessed Sacrament
and Servitium Christi.
Each one will take care to ensure a deepening of a personal formation through study and reflection, an understanding of the Holy Scriptures, the Church’s teaching, the content and spirit of the promise to the Aggregation, and the spirituality of the Founder, Saint Peter Julian Eymard.
