Passionist Nuns of Our Lady of Sorrows Monastery
As Passionists, we are called to keep alive the Memory of Christ's Passion. We do not only recall it in our minds, but we render it present in our lives by living His self-emptying love in our daily lives for the salvation of souls. Passionists live intensely the Mystery of Redemption for the benefit of the whole Church and for all people.
Our primary apostolate is prayer. We witness to the primacy of God and to the priority of adoration of God. We remain faithful to St. Paul of the Cross' original inspiration to have the nuns share their contemplative way of life with others. Our House of Prayer provides a place of solitude for those who wish to enter into prayer.
