Second Grade Holy Person... Saint Paul of the Cross (1694-1775) was founder of the Passionist
Congregation. St Paul is most notable for his fervent love for God and his special devotion to the Passion of Jesus. He believed the Passion of Jesus was "the most overwhelming work
of God's love." He was convinced that renewed awareness of the suffering
of Christ could lead persons to deepened faith and help them to find meaning in
the midst of their suffering and distress. Through ministries of preaching and communication, St. Paul of the Cross worked to renew the religious awareness of his time, particularly among the neglected groups of his society.
Today...the Passionists carry on the vision of their founder: "We Passionists proclaim God’s love for the world revealed through the Passion of Jesus Christ. The Passionists, a family of priests, brothers and laity, reach out with compassion to the crucified of today. We keep alive the memory of Christ’s passion through our commitment to community, prayer, ministries of the Word, and service to those who suffer. We welcome all who seek renewed life through the power of the Cross and the hope of the Resurrection."
Hands-on learning opportunities...The Passionist Earth & Spirit Center in Louisville is located on Newburg Road. Their mission is to inspire, educate and mobilize religious institutions and people of faith to assume an active role in caring for God’s creation, embracing Gospel justice and nurturing spiritual wisdom. They accomplish this through programs and projects in spiritual formation, transformative learning and community outreach.
