The Tricentennial Jubilee Icon

This beautiful icon was commissioned by the Passionist Fathers as a part of our celebration of the 300th anniversary of the year our Founder, St. Paul of the Cross, received the charism to found our Congregation. It features Our Lady of Sorrows and St. Paul of the Cross at the foot of the Crucified Christ, surrounded by some of our most beloved Passionist saints. The icon has been travelling all over the world to the various Passionist houses of men and women, and it visited our monastery in Whitesville on Jan. 30.
