Dear Friends,
Tour of Monastery: This past Thursday evening I gave a tour of the Monastery for a group of Pittsburghers whose ancestors had come from Italy, primarily Lucca, Italy. Rene Tambellini, who arranged the evening, had met with me and asked that I mention any Passionist history of interest to this group. Lucca is in north Italy and is where St. Gemma Galgani lived and is buried. Her confessor, Fr. Germano, the Passionist, is also buried at the Passionist Nuns convent there. I have visited Lucca and led pilgrimages there a number of times. I explained to the group that the reason why the Passionists are in Pittsburgh is because of 4 generous young Passionists. With only a day and a half notice, they left Italy and came here to establish the Passionists. The 4 of them set out by ship for Philadelphia. They became the first band of Passionists in the new world.

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.
