About
The Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament is a religious community of priests and brothers who live in the monasteries attached to St Francis’ Church in Melbourne, and St Peter Julian's Church in Sydney. In 1929 St Francis ceased being a Parish Church and became a Eucharistic Shrine under the care of the Congregation. The religious of the Blessed Sacrament Congregation see the Eucharist ‘as a powerful force of renewal for Church and society’.
