Passionists are a Roman Catholic order founded by the Italian Paul Francis Danei (St Paul of the Cross, 1694-1775) in the 1720s. Its main object was to awaken in the faithful the memory of the Passion of Christ. Their first house in Ireland was started in 1865 by Father Vincent Grotti, encouraged by Cardinal Cullen, on a property called Mount Argus, near Dublin. Father Paul Mary (nephew of Lord Wellington) was the first rector there. Father Charles of Mount Argus is mentioned in Circe. Passionists wear a rough wool tunic bearing the words 'Jesu XPI Passio,' meaning 'Passion of Jesus Christ.'

The main apostolate of Passionists has been retreats, missions, spiritual direction, and prayer groups. Passionists do not usually open schools or universities, except seminaries for students wishing to join their order. The congregation collectively owns only the community house and a bit of land attached to it. It relies on its own labor and on contributions to survive financially. A number of Passionists have been canonised, including St Paul of the Cross, St Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows, St Vincent Strambi, some of the Passionist Martyrs of the Spanish Civil War, St Maria Goretti and St Gemma Galgani. Father Charles of Mount Argus (1821 - 1893) was beatified by John Paul II in 1988.

"A bevy of scampering newsboys rushed down the steps, scattering in all directions, yelling, their white papers fluttering. Hard after them Myles Crawford appeared on the steps, his hat aureoling his scarlet face, talking with J. J. O'Molloy.

He set off again to walk by Stephen's side.
— Yes, he said. I see them." (U7.955)

"RETURN OF BLOOM
Mr Bloom, breathless, caught in a whirl of wild newsboys near the offices of the Irish Catholic and Dublin Penny Journal, called:
- Mr Crawford! A moment!" (U6.962)
Three Irish 'Penny' periodicals were published in the 19c. The Dublin Penny Journal (1832 - 36) was short-lived but its circulation reached a remarkable 50,000 copies. It was followed in 1840 by The Irish Penny Journal, and in 1841 by The Irish Penny Magazine.

The Penny journals catered to the revival of interest in the Gaelic-speaking past and its literature, and in a specifically Irish culture and identity (poetry, short stories, novels, music). The writing was of a high quality, including some of Mangan's best-known poems and translations. All three journals had large wood engravings by professional illustrators.
