Today we joyfully celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Ordination of Fr. Jack Conley, C.P., and Fr. John Schork, C.P.

For 50 years, they have faithfully lived the Passionist vocation, proclaiming the Gospel and bearing witness to the love of Christ Crucified through their ministry, prayer, and service to God's people.

As we give thanks for their 50 years of priesthood, we also thank God for the many lives they have accompanied in faith and the countless ways they have shared the hope and compassion found in the Passion of Jesus Christ.

Please join us in congratulating Fr. Jack and Fr. John on this remarkable milestone and in praying for God's continued blessings upon them.

May the Passion of Jesus Christ be always in our hearts!

All your trials and pains should be ground up together, adding to them acceptance and silence. Then make a pill of them with the balm of the Most Holy Passion of Christ. Swallow it with faith and love and digest it with the warmth of the love of Christ. - St. Paul of the Cross

Oh my daughter! How rich will you be if you will make yourself poor, both within and without. This dryness and lack of feeling is the beginning of a holy poverty of spirit which God wants to give you. Through it the soul acquires true liberty and riches and becomes a garden of delights for Jesus. - St. Paul of the Cross

Eleven years after Pope Francis gifted the world Laudato Si’, its call to care for our common home remains as urgent—and hopeful—as ever. 🌎💚

In this reflection from the Passionist Earth and Spirit Center, we explore how Laudato Si’ continues to inspire ecological spirituality, deeper connection with creation, and faithful action in a world facing environmental challenges. The Passionist tradition has long embraced care for creation through reflection, education, and advocacy.

Oh my daughter! If only you knew how much I desire to do in all things the Most Holy Will of my God! All my poor prayers tend to nothing else. I want nothing else, I long for nothing else, but to be transformed by love into the divine Good Pleasure. - St. Paul of the Cross

I pray to my Divine Savior that he make my constant food his most dear and adorable will (see Jn 4:34). I desire to do it always more perfectly, especially in a matter so delicate and demanding so much care as guiding others. - St. Paul of the Cross

Always be obedient to the inner indications and attractions the Holy Spirit gives you. Jesus desires a complete detachment from all that is created, a true mystical death to all that is not God, and a great nakedness and poverty of spirit in order to be completely clothed with the most pure faith and love for Jesus Christ. - St. Paul of the Cross

As Passionists, we have a special calling. We remember the suffering of Jesus, we meditate on it, and we proclaim its meaning. That's why you see the Passionist sign over our heart. Every time we look at it, we are reminded of what Jesus did for us all.

Our vowed men wear their black habit as a reminder of Jesus and his Passion, his suffering and his love for us on the cross. When they put on their habit, they remember who they are and what God has called them to do.

May God pour the gifts of the Holy Spirit into your heart with greater fullness on the coming feast of Pentecost. Prepar...

May God pour the gifts of the Holy Spirit into your heart with greater fullness on the coming feast of Pentecost. Prepare yourself by total abandonment to the Divine Good Pleasure, without any attachment to interior consolations. Desire nothing but his holy love and you will be disposed to receive the Holy Spirit. - St. Paul of the Cross
