There are several ways to affiliate with the community, based on what you might be looking for. The most formal way is though the Associate way of life. Associates are women and men who share the vision and charism of the Sisters, but are not called to a life of vows and community. Associates join us in our ministries and in our prayer life, but live out the charism in their own circumstances as married or single persons.

Associates have their own formation process through which they learn about the charism of the congregation, as well as about Passionist spirituality. Associates make a covenant with the community, and are involved in community activities as their own schedules and interests permit.

Individuals might also be connected to the community by friendship, volunteering in ministries, through prayer or by being benefactors.  All these forms of connection are enriching for both the community and the individuals who choose them.
