Superior General

The Superior General of the Congregation of the Passion (Passionists) is Fr. GIUSEPPE ADOBATI CARRARA, C.P.

No. 131 of our Constitutions describes it such:

The head of the entire Congregation is called the Superior General. He has ordinary and proper jurisdiction over all the Provinces, Vice-Provinces, Regional Vicariates, houses, members, and goods of the Congregation. This jurisdiction of his is to be exercised according to the norms of common and particular law. He is elected for six years and may be immediately re-elected only once.

On the 17 th of October 2024, the 48^th General Chapter of the Congregation of the Passion of Jesus Christ elected Fr. Giuseppe Adobati Carrara CP as Superior General.
Up until now, he has been the Provincial Superior of MAPRAES Province; together with a Council of six Passionists, his task is to govern the Congregation, always remembering our mission in the Church: “to preach the Gospel of the Passion by our life and apostolate.” (Const.2) Today, the Passionists number just under 2000 religious men present in 62 countries.

Father Giuseppe was born 12/09/1969. He was professed 14/09/1991 and ordained a priest 1/06/1996.
We ask that you pray for him so that he will be illuminated with the light of the Holy Spirit to fulfill the task that has been entrusted to him.
Likewise, with the same openness of spirit the Passionist Family throughout the world are invited to share in this mystery praying for the faithfulness to remain united in the love of Christ on the Cross.
