Message to the Passionist Family

On 11 June 2016, the Superior General, Fr Joachim Rego, published a Message to the Passionist Family commemorating the 275th anniversary of the approval of the Rule and the first Passionist Professions in 1741. In the Message, Father Joachim writes: ‘As we remember this, no doubt, joyful moment for Paul of the Cross and his first companions on 11 June 1741, may we – his companions today – also take the occasion to review and renew our commitment and vocation to keep alive the memory of the Passion of Jesus as the greatest act of God’s love and mercy, and to promote this memory in the lives and hearts of the people today…” especially those who are poor and neglected; we seek to offer them comfort and to relieve the burden of their sorrow”.’ (Constitutions, no.3)
