As Passionist Nuns, our spiritual home is the “cloister” of Calvary, where we dwell in the shadow of His wings – the outstretched arms of Jesus Christ upon the Cross.
There, in union with Our Sorrowful Mother, we keep Him company in His Passion, we offer our lives with His in a loving sacrifice to the Eternal Father, and we strive to become channels of His grace, life, and love into our world.
“I rejoice in the Lord that you often find yourself plunged and immersed in the Sacred Passion of Jesus and in the great furnace of His Eucharistic Presence....”
Not only are we searching for God, but He is searching for us! And if we “sell everything we have” to embrace the Kingdom, it is only because He first “sold everything” in the Incarnation and Redemption to purchase the priceless “pearl” that is each human soul!
During Evening Prayer on July 9th, the Passionist feast of Our Lady of Holy Hope, Aspirant Abbey officially entered St. Joseph’s monastery!
The Passionist Jubilee bulletin has begun publishing a series on “formation and catechesis,” taking a deeper look at the history and spirituality of our Congregation.
Our community enjoyed our traditional Independence Day “Gaudeamus” (free day) together, filled with all sorts of sisterly fun and tasty food.
The complexity of the human heart means that our ability and willingness to receive the Word vary tremendously.

While we have not had visitors in our chapel lately due to the pandemic, our Sister Sacristan has still been keeping the Lord’s house beautifully decorated for the spring and summer feast days.
One favorite hobby of many nuns is gardening — there is something prayerful about working so closely with God’s creation.
We all knew something was afoot when Aspirant Abbey entered the chapel one day with a smile bright enough to dazzle the casual observer.
“Make yourself a good retreat in the interior of your soul, and in that desert treat with the Highest Good one-on-one, adoring him in spirit and truth.”
“The Passionist Nuns... are to strive for perfection in God’s love by living in His Divine Presence and by preserving indelibly written in their hearts the most holy Life, Passion, and Death of the loving Jesus who was sacrificed on Calvary for the world’s redemption.”
Our Retreat House and Chapel, located on a peaceful 170-acre site of beautiful woodlands, gives women and men of Catholic and other Christian denominations the opportunity to enter into a deeper relationship with God by sharing in our Passionist liturgical celebrations, while renewing and strengthening themselves spiritually and physically in a place of deep silence, solitude and prayer.
