We, The Passionists of Holy Cross Province, are one part of this religious order known as The Congregation of The Passion, or more commonly referred to as The Passionists.
In 1720, our founder, St. Paul of the Cross, set out to establish a religious order dedicated to spreading the message of the love of Christ Crucified. He knew this message was imperative in helping those who suffer find hope, healing, compassion, mercy and love.
The Passionists now have communities on six continents, and our Passionist Family consists of priests and brothers, nuns and sisters, and lay men and women.
