The Most Precious Blood Rosary Society was organized in 1898. At its development, one of its purposes was to honor and venerate the Blessed Mother and to create special interest in the practice and spread of the devotion of the Rosary. The current society begins each meeting with the Rosary and leads the Rosary at funeral homes as our fellow parishioners are finishing their earthly life. We continue to honor our Blessed Mother with our annual May Crowning each May.
A second purpose of the Rosary Society is to act as hostesses for the Pastor at parish celebrations. We continue this ministry as we host receptions for Christmas concerts, Easter Vigil, and Confirmation, as well as other parish celebrations.
Thirdly, the Rosary Society earns monies which are used to fund church and school programs as well as provide for those people who are need.
All women of the parish are invited to join and participate in the Rosary Society. There are many areas which we would welcome more participation such as baking, volunteering ones' time at our many fund-raising events (rummage sales, craft show, candy and bake sales) as well as at our twice-yearly visits to Byron Health Center. We also continue to provide funeral luncheon through the gratitude of donations.
In addition, we welcome women to join the groups who lead the rosaries at the funeral homes. Please contact any of the officers if you have questions or would like more information on our society.

Service and charity are at the heart of the Knights of Columbus. What began as a small service organization in 1882 has grown into a worldwide financial and charitable organization. Since its establishment in 1993 at Most Precious Blood parish, Saint Gaspar del Bufalo Council #11043 has worked to make a better world according to God’s plan and is open to all men of the Parish.

Precious Blood parish is in the process of establishing a team (or teams) of parishioners who would like to take on service projects in our local parish area. This is a great opportunity to serve our parish and community.
Service projects will be selected from Neighbor Link, which is an organization where individuals can request help with home projects that individuals or families are unable to provide for themselves. These projects may include yard care, painting, gutter-cleaning, home repair, etc. If you are interested in serving, please contact the parish office.
