Public Benefit Statement – The Monte Argentario Private Trust (N.I.) Limited Purpose 1: To enable the members of the Congregation of the Passion to proclaim the Gospel of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ by their lives and by their works in Northern Ireland. What benefit flows from this purpose? The Monte Argentario Private Trust (N.I.)
Limited is the Trustee of all property belonging to the Congregation of the Passion. We have three Passionist Communities in Northern Ireland, namely Holy Cross Retreat, Ardoyne, Belfast; St Gabriel’s Retreat, The Graan, Enniskillen and Tobar Mhuire Retreat & Conference Centre, Crossgar, Co Down. The correct management of our property assists the Congregation on its work to promote religion, which it does as a part of the Roman Catholic Church. The direct benefits which flow from this promotion of the catholic faith and spreading the principles and values of the Roman Catholic religion include an enrichment of the moral fabric and wellbeing of our wider society. Through preaching a message of love, Passionists reach out to those who are in need, those who suffer injustice and seek ways to overcome the causes of poverty and injustice. The members of the Congregation of the Passion welcome members of the Roman Catholic faith and other interested parties from the general public who wish to: - attend public worship in our parishes; - come to pray and to find solace in our churches; - attend missions and retreats conducted by the Passionists; and - avail of our counselling and spiritual direction services. Purpose 2: To educate student members towards admission to the Congregation of the Passion in Northern Ireland. What benefits flow from this purpose? The Congregation of the Passion actively seeks vocations, i.e. those who are interested in becoming members of the Congregation, to promote the Gospel of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Roman Catholic faith. Student members train for approximately seven years before becoming ordained members of the Congregation. When ordained they will be engaged in ministry and the promotion of the Roman Catholic faith, in our churches and retreat centres. A student member will gain a private benefit from the training received but this is incidental to the benefit of promoting the catholic faith and the message of love to members of the Roman Catholic faith and other interested parties. The members of the Congregation cannot identify any way in which the purposes of the charity may lead to harm.
