Amici of the C.PP.S.

Amici of the C.PP.S. have a bond with the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. Originally founded as a way for former priests and brothers to reconnect with the Congregation that formed them, Amici now include those who once studied at one of the Missionaries' seminaries or colleges.

Amici feel that the Missionaries of the Precious Blood helped form them into the people they are today. Many of them work in the helping professions.

Many have fond memories of their time with the Missionaries, and want to stay connected with the Congregation and with each other, along with their wives and families.

The group has been an inspiration to many and is a living example of the Missionaries' belief in the importance of reconciliation.

Father Al Spilly, C.PP.S., was one of the presenters at the July 2011 Amici gathering at St. Charles Center. Here is the full text of his presentation, Discourse in Church and Society: Dialogue, Dialectic, Diatribe.

During the Amici gathering Tom Fox, the founder, publisher, and editor of the National Catholic Reporter, said that "Amici and the C.PP.S. should not fail to recognize the importance of the acceptance they are modeling for the Church."
