The Society of the Precious Blood is a fraternal community of
priests and brothers founded by St. Gaspar in . Bonded through
charity by a promise of fidelity, we are prayerfully motivated by the
spirituality of the precious blood of Jesus Christ to serve the needs
of the Church as discerned through the signs of the times and in the
light of the Gospel.
The Kansas City Province—incorporated members, covenanted
companions, and candidates—united in prayer, service and mutual
support, characterized by the tradition of its American predeces-
sors, are missionaries of these times with diverse gifts and minis-
tries. In a spirit of joy, we strive to serve all people—especially the
poor—with care and compassion, hope and hospitality.
The New Wine Press seeks to remain faithful to the charism of
our founder, St. Gaspar, and the spirituality of the Blood of Christ
with its emphasis on reconciliation, renewal and refounding. We ac-
cept and encourage unsolicited manuscripts and letters to the editor.
