The Servants of the Blessed Sacrament is a Roman Catholic contemplative, but not cloistered, congregation of sisters with a focus on Eucharistic adoration. It was founded in France in 1858 by Saint Peter Julian Eymard, who was also known as the Apostle of the Eucharist. Sister Marguerite Guillot collaborated with Eymard and became the first superior general for the congregation, which was approved by Pope Pius IX in 1871. This congregation is distinct from the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament which was also formed by Saint Peter Julian Eymard.
