The "Passionist Family" comprises various Religious Congregations of men and women and lay organizations within the Roman Catholic tradition. Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation is central to our Passionist spirituality and our way of life today. Our Charism impels us to be prophetic as we confront the massive inequalities in the distribution of the world’s resources. We must respond with urgency to halt the destruction of our planet, and work for a more just and compassionate world where the rights and dignity of the whole community of life are upheld and respected.
