Education

Education has been an arena of service in which we have been trailblazers and innovators. Our educational entities not only tend to the intellect, but to the whole person. We have experienced the transformative power of education when offered in a compassionate, supportive and loving environment. The students we serve not only set future goals for themselves, they bring to life their deeply desired dreams. Please click on the links below to learn more about the transformative power of each level of education.

Elementary Education

Passionists of Holy Cross Province operate Holy Family Catholic Academy in Birmingham, Alabama. Holy Family Academy offers an innovative approach to education grounded in the needs of the population they serve. They strive to prepare students in grades 5-8 to achieve academic success throughout high school and beyond whether in college, the military or the workforce.

Secondary Education

Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic High School has a long-standing, trailblazing history. Historically, the oldest Catholic high school in Birmingham, it was established as Holy Family Catholic High School in 1938, serving the African-American community in a deeply segregated South. It became the first Cristo Rey network school in the South in August, 2007.

The high school has been at the service of a traditionally underserved community for 80 years. It has always offered a vision of hope, in a supportive nurturing environment, which has encouraged each and every student to not only dream about a future they desire, but to empower them to make it come true. Since 2007, 100% of the graduating class has received college acceptance.  Please find additional information in their website: hfcristorey.org

Collegiate Education

Serving as Catholic Theological Union, Chicago, Illinois

The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) ushered in a new and exciting vision for the Catholic Church in the modern world. Passionists of Holy Cross Province embraced this new vision with bold innovation and courageous determination.  Having had decades of experience in the field of elementary and secondary education, Holy Cross Province ventured into an arena yet unchartered, founding a theological college.

In 1968 Passionist of Holy Cross Province partnered with two other men’s religious orders, Franciscans and Servites to undertake the founding of a theological college. To reflect this innovative union of people, resources and purpose, they called their new school Catholic Theological Union. In time, more religious communities joined the Union, and today there are 25 members. Catholic Theological Union, or CTU, has become the largest Roman Catholic school of theology and ministry in North America. For more information on CTU, visit: http://www.ctu.edu/
