ENCOUNTERING CHRIST THROUGH SERVICE

Established by the Passionist Order in 1973 and flourishing today as a non-profit organization, the PV Program seeks to walk with the least, the last, the lost and the left out.

Our volunteers seek to learn from and serve the poor and marginalized while working to right the injustices that affect those communities.  They also seek to grow in faith and love by becoming active members of a Christian community which challenges them to embrace the crosses in their own lives. This two-fold experience is inspired by St. Paul of the Cross, the 18th century mystic who, strengthened by the community he began, proclaimed "The service of God does not require good words and good desires, but efficient workmanship, fervor and courage."
