2024 Passionist Alumni Reunion in Louisville, KY

The Passionist Formation Alumni are a community of individuals who, at one time or another, took part in the formation programs for Passionist priests and brothers in Holy Cross Province.

The group is made up of a diverse circle of friends who:

  • Professed vows or were ordained.
  • Spent only a few months or years in formation.
  • Walked alongside us and supported our journey [the many men and women—teachers, mentors, and staff].

Whether you’re still Catholic or have followed a different path, you’re welcome here. This is a place to reconnect, to remember the meaningful moments we shared and to celebrate the life journeys that have shaped who we are today.

Come join this band of brothers and sisters because every story matters, and you’re part of ours.

Our Vision

To fully embrace our place within the Passionist Family of Holy Cross Province, and to grow together in the wisdom, grace and spirit of the Passionist way.

Our Values

  • Welcome with Open Arms
    We joyfully welcome all Passionist alumni, especially those who may feel distant or disconnected due to personal struggles, past wounds or lingering questions. Everyone has a place here.
  • Celebrate Shared Memories
    We create opportunities for individuals and families to reconnect, relive and simply enjoy the camaraderie we experienced during our time in Passionist formation.
  • Exchange Wisdom from Life’s Journey
    We honor and share the rich and diverse experiences gained through our lives in business, public service, family, ministry and beyond, trusting that each story carries its own grace and insight.
  • Nurture Passionist Spirituality
    We come together for prayer, conversation and liturgy, drawing strength from the Passionist charism as we reflect on where we’ve been and where God is calling us next.
  • Give Back with Purpose
    We offer our time, talents and resources to support the Passionist mission: to keep alive the memory of the Passion of Jesus Christ in a world that deeply needs hope and compassion.
