Adorers of the Blood of Christ

We are a community of passionate women working to heal a broken world through ministry to our dear neighbors.

We see God’s spirit in each other.

We have been responding to the urgent and fiery Spirit of our charism since our founding by St. Maria de Mattias in 1834.

Our spirituality is based on the belief that when Jesus died on the cross, his blood poured forth into all of humanity. His death and resurrection give us hope, forgiveness, eternal life, and a sense that we are all interconnected.

We work for social equality, provide pastoral care, offer retreats, and advocate for immigrants, among other ministries.

I dare say that my 46+ years with the Adorers have given me a path to holiness. I believe God, working through the Adorers, has gifted me with growth in prayer, maturity in living in community, expansion in mission and ministry to God’s people wherever they are found. This international congregation of Adorers has shaped me as the person I am now.”
