The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament

Welcome to our website

Jesus Christ is the Most Beautiful Book God has given us!

The Congregation of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament was founded in Boucieu-le-Roi (France) November 30, 1715 by Blessed Peter Vigne, an ardent missionary endowed with a burning desire to make Jesus Christ better known, loved and served throughout the world.

The Sisters hold in their hearts that same passion and by their commitment continue to keep alive the pages of “The Most Beautiful Book God has given us namely, Jesus Christ suffering and dying on the Cross”. This evocative title was chosen by Peter Vigne for one of his works.

For him, Jesus is the Book written by God! What is most important is to keep our gaze and our heart fixed on Christ: Christ in his Passion where he gives himself for humanity, Christ in the Eucharist, his perpetual presence among his people.

Browse this website at your own pace! You can follow a path that will lead you to Jesus Christ among the poor and less fortunate of yesterday like Peter Vigne, or the Sisters today who are endeavouring to do the same. The Congregation is now present in several countries in Europe, South America and Africa.

You will discover a man and religious sisters, who in the midst of a world of renewed violence, carry out their mission of “accompanying pilgrims” in search of a more humane and Christian life. Could Peter Vigne be one of the signs of holiness that the Lord sends us to sustain our hope in this Jubilee Year of Hope?

     “Yes, Peter Vigne has still plenty to say to us today in terms of his preferential option for the poor, his concern for Eucharistic worship, his sense of God’s mercy, his love of the Word of God, and his desire for the unity of the Church”. (Mgr Alain Planet, Bishop of Carcassonne and Narbonne, preface to “Pierre Vigne en chemin avec les humble” published in 2012)

Pope Francis has plenty of time now for fellowship with Blessed Peter Vigne!!
