Order of the Precious Blood

Membership

All formal membership in the Order begins with joining its confraternity. The confraternity consists of men and women of all states in life, be they single, married, celibate, lay, or clergy. Members of the confraternity make non-binding commitments to increase their prayers and to engage in spiritual acts of reparation for the sins of the world. Members are encouraged to wear the scapular of the Precious Blood as well as to recite its chaplet.

 

The Order is autonomous and ecumenical. If you are a sincere Christian of any denomination, be encouraged to submit a membership inquiry today. Membership in the Order does not confer membership in any denomination, and members are expected to continue attending their denominational church. Your membership is private and internal to the OPB; it will not be disclosed to any church without your consent.
