We Passionists are a culturally diverse and universal family within the Church. We centre our lives in a special way in the Paschal Mystery of Christ. We have a specific missionary commitment:

We try to live in deep communion with the Crucified One and to imbibe the spirit in which he loved us unto death that all might live. Thus we feel ourselves called to  reach out to others with the same selfless love, especially to those who are in some way crucified by the world of today.

There are 2.215 Passionists spread out in the countries listed below, minus two which are deliberately not mentioned so that our presence in those countries may not be jeopardized. We are in 59 countries. There are 136  Passionists in Africa,  452 in Latin America, 264 in North America (including Bahamas, Jamaica, Haiti),  526 in Italy (including Bulgaria and Israel), 289 in Spain and Portugal,  289 in the rest of Europe and 318 in Asia and Pacific countries.

The following photographic links gives an idea of how this mission is being carried out throughout the world. These links are planned to be in continuous renewal as the places are numerous and the developments are ongoing. Truly the photographs only give a mere glimpse of wealth of our missionary outreach but they also give a good insight into our spirit.

Years in which Passionist Foundations were established in countries around the world


 

The dramatic crucifixion of Christ is reproduced today in our suffering men, women and children all over the world, and in the agony of our home, the much abused planet earth. This suffering touches the heart of a Passionist. It calls each of us to compassion and to action. Our members respond in many practical ways to the needs of the suffering on every continent. We feel the call to raise our voice even on the world stage at the United Nations. We have banded together with Passionist Sisters and like minded lay groups to send our own representative to the UN in New York to speak there on behalf of the those who suffer from unjust situations and to promote a more humane world. We are Passionists International. See the web site at: http://www.passionistworld.org
Our representative to the UN is Fr. Kevin Dance, CP, from Australia.
