Mission Statement

As Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament,

we believe God calls us

to be a sign in the world

of the power of the Eucharistic Christ

to effect unity and community among all peoples.

Guided by the spirit

of Katharine Drexel,

we are called to share the Gospel message

with the poor, especially among the Black

and Native American peoples

and to challenge the deeply

rooted injustice in the world today.

"Kindness is the natural fruit of goodness of heart.  His kindness was inexhaustible.  It was kindness of manner
which sprang from genuine love, and like sunshine and rain, He loved every human being as the image of God..., 
and so all that came within range of His benevolence were treated kindly for God's sake and their own."
-Saint Katharine Drexel 



The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament extend a prayerful welcome and congratulations to Pope Franics I, the first Jesuit Pope.
