“No matter who you are or where you’ve been,
we stand With You, the crucified of today”

Passionists

“So, while we cannot state that ‘This is what we do’,
can we affirm that ‘This is what we believe’ – we are
thinking, living, and praying into a future where we will
meet the crucified in ways never imagined”

Passionists
