Aggregation of the Blessed Sacrament

Called To Be An Associate of the Blessed Sacrament

“Inspired by the spirit of Saint Peter Julian Eymard, we form a lay association, approved by the Church, called the Aggregation of the Blessed Sacrament and the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament.

We thus seek to pursue our Christian vocation and our call to holiness by following the evangelical way taught by Saint Peter Julian Eymard.” -Rule of Life for Associates 1

Blessed Sacrament associates are ordained priests, deacons, religious, lay Catholic women and men, single or married, who share in the Eucharistic vocation founded by Saint Peter Julian Eymard.

As associates, we commit ourselves to be disciples and apostles of the Eucharist, supporting each other in the sharing of prayer and faith in regular meetings. We participate fully in the Liturgy of the Eucharist, in personal prayer in the presence of hte Blessed Sacrament and engage in a variety of ministries to manifest the fruit of worship and prayer.

The call to become an Associate of the Blessed Sacrament is a true vocation. After a period of formation and discernment as Associate candidates, we make a public covenant with a promise to place the Paschal Mystery of Christ’s self-giving in the Eucharist at the center of our lives. To grow as covenant people, we gather often to pray together, encourage one another, and grow in understanding of the Eucharist and living the Eymardian charism.

In partnership with the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, we form communities of friendship and faith whose center of life is the Eucharist, celebrated, contemplated, proclaimed, and lived.

Happy is the soul that knows how to find Jesus in the Eucharist, and the Eucharist in all things! -St. Peter Julian Eymard
