At the express request of the founder, Abbot Francis Pfanner the sisters were supposed to be there for the missions. With the name "Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood" he gave them the mandate to live the redeeming love Christ in their everyday life and thus give the message of joy, hope and reconciliationto the people.
Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood comes from Latin: "congregatio pretiosi sanguinis".
This is also the origin of the order's abbreviation: CPS.
