Confraternity of the Precious Blood

Founded in 1890, the Confraternity is an association dedicated to the support of the historic Monastery of the Precious Blood in Brooklyn, New York, and the nuns and religious sisters who call it home. Over the course of its history, hundreds of thousands of individuals have enrolled in the Confraternity to support its good works, and millions more have discovered its line of beloved pocket devotionals. These include My Way of Life, My Imitation of Christ, and especially My Daily Bread - a title that has sold more than 1 million copies since its release in 1954, and has become a staple in many Catholic parishes and homes
