Monastery Updates   4/21/2024

Dear Friends,

 Fr. Jerome McKenna, C.P.: His funeral and burial were here this past week. He was very much appreciated by his family, his Passionist Community, the dioceses where he was assigned, and the many people he served. He was the eldest of seven brothers, all born and raised here in Pittsburgh. Two brothers, Joseph and Regis, live here in Pittsburgh and his brother Robert is a Passionist Brother at our infirmary at our Jamaica, NY Monastery. Fr. Jerome was born April 13, 1930 and professed his vows as a Passioinist in 1951. He was ordained a priest in 1958. He died this past April 7 in Atlanta, where he was Pastor, the oldest active pastor in our country!

Welcome to St. Paul of the Cross Monastery in the historic South Side neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA. We hope the monastery can become for you a place where you can experience God’s love.

Retreat Center

Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionists, always wished his monasteries to be places of hospitality. The same applies for our retreat center. We have a variety of retreats for men, women, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and many day events as well.
