Mission convent Holy Blood - Aarle Rixtel
The Missionary Convent Heilig Bloed in Aarle-Rixtel is a historic monastery that has hosted the Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood since 1903. The convent, with its serene gardens and Lourdes grotto, served as a training house and refuge for refugees during both world wars. Today, it is still home to nuns dedicated to prayer and community activities, while parts of the convent are open to visitors.
A mission convent focuses on missionary work, often in remote areas. Here, the sisters were prepared for their task of providing education and care and spreading the faith. The convent combines prayer with action, with daily life serving communities worldwide. This balance of contemplation and devotion is at the heart of their mission.
