Passionists International
Passionists International is the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) for the Passionist family that is accredited and engaged with the United Nations. Its purpose is to promote the social vision and concern of the international Passionist community within the UN system.
Our Goal:
Passionists International is committed to working for reconciliation and peace, to strengthening community and social justice, especially among the most dispossessed. We aim to inform and educate our membership and the people we serve about:
-
justice and peace
-
promoting respect for cultural differences
-
promoting attitudes of care for the earth, including responsible patterns of production and consumption
-
placing people at the centre of development.
Passionists International is directed by Fr. Kevin Dance, CP and Sr. Mary Ann, Strain, CP.
