A Legacy of Prayer Since 1910

Tucked along Fort Hamilton Parkway in Brooklyn, the Monastery of the Precious Blood has stood as a sacred sanctuary of silence, sacrifice, and unceasing intercession for over a century. Since 1910, it has been home to the Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood—a cloistered, contemplative order often called the powerhouse of prayer for the Diocese of Brooklyn and the world.

Founded in 1861 in Quebec, Canada, by Mother Catherine Aurelia of the Precious Blood (Aurelia Caouette), the community lives out a profound charism: to adore the Precious Blood of Christ and to offer reparation for the sins of humanity, imploring God’s mercy on behalf of all souls.

In the stirring words of Mother Catherine herself:

“…They will pray for the sanctification of nations,
for the zeal of the apostles of Christ who are evangelizing,
for the holiness of all God’s people,
and the increased holiness of priests called to be dispensers of the divine blood.
They will labor in the tempest-tossed vessel of the Church,
pour out the balm of their prayer in her deep wounds,
and burn to give their very lives in defense of her cause.”

Today, the Sisters remain a vital spiritual force—offering their hidden lives of prayer, penance, and perpetual adoration for the Church and the world.

A Shared Life of Prayer

In 2011, the Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood graciously opened the doors of their monastery to welcome the contemplative branch of the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará. Since then, these two distinct yet harmonious communities have joyfully shared the sacred space of the monastery—coming together each day for Holy Mass and times of communal prayer, while continuing to live out their unique charisms and religious rules with fidelity and love.

Though each follows a distinct spiritual path, they are united in their mission: to glorify God through lives of adoration, sacrifice, and intercession—a quiet flame of devotion in the heart of Brooklyn.
