WHO ARE SBS ASSOCIATES?
In the spirit of the Eucharist, Associates of the Sisters of
the Blessed Sacrament (ASBS) are Catholic women and men,
married and single...
Who desire association with the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament as means of growth in personal holiness.
Who share in the mission, vision and values of the
Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament
WHAT DO SBS ASSOCIATES DO?
Associates commit themselves, as do SBS, to live out and witness to
the values, spirituality and mission entrusted to St. Katharine Drexel. Associates commit themselves to some specific, personal expression
of the Associate relationship. This involves praying with and for the Sisters, scripture study, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and
such works as visiting the sick, and tutoring. The ASBS do not live in the SBS communities, and although some associates may work or volunteer to serve in parishes or schools where SBS minister, there
is not obligation to do so. Associates often give witness to promoting justice and works of service where SBS are unable to minister.

SBS Assembly 1990 approved forming an associate group. In 1992
the first associates made their commitment to live the charism of
St. Katharine and the vision and values of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. That same year units at the Motherhouse, in New Orleans and in Los Angeles were commissioned. Today there are 19 ASBS units. ASBS are now spread across the United States and Haiti.
