The Story of Saint Ann’s Shrine
The Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in the United States is under the patronage of Saint Ann. And it is known as the Province of Saint Ann.
Since 1987, on July 24, 25, and 26, a Triduum is celebrated in Cleveland and a Novena in New York in honor of the Feast Day of Saint Ann. The Shrine originated in New York, NY.
The Blessed Sacrament Fathers and Brothers opened an extension of the New York Shrine in Cleveland, Ohio.
A relic of Saint Ann in New York is now available for veneration at the Chapel in Saint Ann’s Shrine in Cleveland, Ohio where daily Mass and recitation of the Rosary takes place Monday through Friday.
You will be remembered in the prayers of the religious of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in the Province of Saint Ann during Mass and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

The Story of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament Priests, Brothers & Deacons
Our founder, Saint Peter Julian Eymard, understood and proclaimed the Eucharist being the center of our life and faith as followers of Jesus Christ.
The Eucharist has the power to transform individuals and societies and to renew the church.
We are a Catholic religious congregation of priests, brothers, and deacons whose mission is to share the riches of God’s love manifested in the Eucharist. We minister in many lands and cultures, and in a variety of situations, but share a common vision and hope for a world renewed by the Eucharist. We speak different languages, but tell a common story of life transformed by the power of the Eucharist, the sacrament of Christ’s presence and love.
We promote the Eucharistic Life with programs such as Life in the Eucharist led by lay members, and with the lay branch of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament known as the Aggregation or Lay Associates of the Blessed Sacrament. Our Congregation serves parishes in the United States and is active in various pastoral ministries including ecumenism, in the effort for the unity of all Christians.
The Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament/Saint Ann’s Shrine is a non-proft, 501(c)3 organization.
