Congregation Of The Blessed Sacrament
The Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament (S.S.S.) is a Catholic religious congregation of priests, deacons, and brothers whose ideal of life is to become living witnesses of the Eucharist, the source and summit of Christian life. By their life and activities, they assist the Church in her efforts to form Christian communities whose center of life is the Eucharist. They commit themselves to the implementation of this ideal in collaboration with lay men and women engaged in various ministries.
