Messages for our 250th Jubilee

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the establishment of the first monastery of Passionist Nuns today, we want to share with you some of the inspiring and encouraging messages sent to our Congregation from the leaders of the worldwide Passionist family. Please join us in lifting up prayers of gratitude for all the blessings God has bestowed on us and, through us, on the whole world over the past 250 years… and also prayers of petition for good and holy new vocations to our monasteries!

We express our gratitude to all of you for walking together with us the Via Dolorosa, the Way of Sorrows, the path of love that brings us to Calvary - the culmination of our salvation - and to the glory of the Resurrection.
— Fr. Joachim Rego, CP, Superior General of the Passionist Fathers
In a spirit of faith, hope and love, we can celebrate this 250th anniversary of our foundation as a new start, a fervent re-foundation of our Institute. On May 3, we can say to our Divine Spouse: “You make all things new. Let us now begin!”
— Mother Catherine Marie, CP, Mother President of the Passionist Nuns
Solitude, Prayer, and Love are the words you have chosen to illumine your Jubilee journey. We joyfully share this with you as we are rooted in this same charism, called to bring the memoria passionis to the world.
— Sr. Maria Dalessandro, CP, Superior General of the Passionist Sisters
