Daniel Francis, C.Ss.R. in the footsteps of Redemptorist Saints Gerard Majella and Alphonsus Liguori. Our pilgrimage begins in Naples, the birthplace of the founder of the Redemptorists, St. Alphonsus.

After Naples and a stop at the famous Montecassino Abbey, we travel to Rome. Our time there will include a tour of the Vatican Museum, a papal audience, and Mass in front of the original icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help.

  • Daily Lenten Devotions Prayer Fasting Almsgiving
    2021 Redemptorist Reflections Daily Lenten Devotions Prayer Fasting Almsgiving The Redemptorists With Him is plentiful redemption. (Psalm 130:7) Who are the Redemptorists? St. Alphonsus Liguori was born in Naples, Italy, in 1696. He left a promising legal career against the wishes of his family and became a priest. Alphonsus dedicated himself completely to serving the poor and most abandoned, and in 1732 he founded the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer: The Redemptorists. Alphonsus and his companions preached the word of God in rural and isolated communities around Naples. By the early 19th century Redemptorists were serving in central Italy, Poland, Germany, Belgium, and Holland. In 1832 six Redemptorists traveled to the United States and for the first time began missionary work outside of Europe. They served initially among Native Americans and then with Irish, German, and Slavic immigrants. In 1850 the Redemptorists’ American Province was established in Baltimore. Today we Redemptorists continue our ministry to the poor and most abandoned, in inner cities, hospitals, and prisons. We preach parish missions, staff parishes, promote devotion to Our Mother of Perpetual Help, and participate in many evangelization activities through traditional and new media. Following in the footsteps of St. Alphonsus Liguori and 18 other confreres who have been canonized or beatified, approximately 5,500 Redemptorists serve in 82 countries throughout the world. As Redemptorists, we have a special devotion to the crib of Bethlehem, the cross of Calvary, the Eucharist, and Mary, the Mother of God. Will you help us serve God’s people with a gift today?

The St. Alphonsus Formation Residence will become a Convent of Mercy where 30 senior Sisters of Mercy from Brooklyn, Long Island, and other parts of New York will live. MORE Add One Sisters of Mercy – Mid-Atlantic Community Last year, the Redemptorists moved their 20 philosophy students and nine formation staff members from the Whitestone property to the rectory at Immaculate Conception Church, a Redemptorist parish in the Bronx. Also last year, the Sisters of Mercy began looking for a suitable residence for some of their senior sisters. “The Parsons Boulevard location offers an ideal convent residence for our older sisters. The building has a beautiful chapel and simple, but lovely rooms and common areas. The locale has green open space, ample parking, and is centrally located in the New York area where our sisters have ministered for many years. We are pleased to have developed this relationship with the Redemptorists,” says Sister Christine McCann, RSM, the President of the Mid-Atlantic Community of the Sisters of Mercy. “We are delighted to enter into this partnership with the Sisters of Mercy in the Mid-Atlantic Community,” says Very Reverend Patrick Woods, Provincial Superior of the Baltimore Province.“ The Sisters plan to use the building as an assisted living residence for members of their community.

  • Archivio Generale St. Louis Province
    INVENTORY OF THE ST. LOUIS PROVINCE COLLECTION (12) REDEMPTORIST GENERAL ARCHIVE, ROME Prepared by Patrick J. Hayes, Ph.D., Archivist Redemptorist Archives of the Baltimore Province 7509 Shore Road Brooklyn, New York, USA 11209 718-833-1900 Email: [email protected] The Redemptorists’ Denver Province (12) has a historic beginning and storied career. Formally erected as a sister province of the Baltimore Province in 1875, it was initially known as the Vice-Province of St. Louis. It eventually divided again between regional foundations in Chicago, New Orleans, and Oakland. The Denver Province presently affiliates with the Vice- Provinces of Bangkok and Manaus and hosts the external province of Vietnam. Today, the classification system at the Archivio Generale Redentoristi (AGR), has retained the name of the original St. Louis Province in identifying the collection associated with this unit of the Redemptorist family. A good place to begin to understand the various permutations of the St. Louis Province is through the work of Father Peter Geiermann’s Annals of the St. Louis Province (1924) in three thick volumes. Unfortunately, it has never been updated. The Province awaits its own full-scale history. The St. Louis Province covered a large swath of the United States at one point—from Whittier, California to Detroit, Michigan and Seattle, Washington to New Orleans, Louisiana. Redemptorists of this province were present in cities such as Wichita and Kansas City, Fresno and Grand Rapids, San Francisco and San Antonio. Their formation houses reached into Missouri, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Schools could be found in Oakland and Detroit. Their shrines in Chicago, New Orleans, and St.

  • MSA Newsletter
    MSA Newsletter A newsletter for Member Schools of Marist Schools Australia published fortnightly during term time From Brother Michael Green 23 August 2011 Dear Members of the Marist Family Youth on the streets. Mobs of them! Thousands. Unbridled. Converging from everywhere. Wholly absorbed in their own agenda; not caring what others think of them. Using social media to connect and meet up. What to do? How to respond? No, not the streets of London or Birmingham, but Madrid. Curious, wasn’t it, that a few thousand errant youths in the UK, provoked into doing evil, managed to achieve blanket international news coverage for days on end, even to cause politicians to break their summer holidays to recall Parliament, but thathundreds of thousands of youths from all over the world, all set on doing good, achieved only scant mention in evening news bulletins? Perhaps, it provides some extra grounds for the Prime Minister’s proposed parliamentary enquiry into the media. Last week’s World Youth Day, and the previous week’s International Marist Youth Gathering, were remarkable events. Newsworthy events. The ancient Greek word εὐαγγέλιον (rendered in Latin asevangelium ) was all about describing major breaking news. Its modern English equivalent “gospel”, as we have all known since at least the 70s hit Godspell, means just that: good news. Last week was indeed Good News. It was news that the world deserves to hear, and news which calls for response. The term “evangelisation” can sound more like the name of an obscure medical procedure than a personal encounter full of joy and hope.

  • A Study of the Origins, Development and Contemporary Manifestations of Christian Retreats
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Unisa Institutional Repository A STUDY OF THE ORIGINS, DEVELOPMENT AND CONTEMPORARY MANIFESTATIONS OF CHRISTIAN RETREATS by HUGH PETER JENKINS submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF THEOLOGY in the subject CHRISTIAN SPIRITUALITY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: DR JL COYLE OCTOBER 2006 1 Key terms: Christian retreats; Biblical retreats; Spiritual withdrawal; Monasticism; Discernment; Ignatian spirituality; Christian devotions; Christian meditation; Divine-Human encounter; Christian prayer. 2 Summary: The dissertation is a study of the origins, development and contemporary manifestations of Christian retreats. It traces origins from the Biblical record until current retreats. Christian retreat is a period of withdrawal from usual activities to experience encounter with God through Christian prayer. Jesus’ pattern of engagement in ministry and withdrawal is a vital basis for retreat. Other Biblical descriptions of retreat are studied. There is an examination of retreat experiences in Church history with a particular focus on monasticism, as a major expression of retreat life, and Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the modern retreat movement. Varieties of subsequent retreat types in the spiritualities of different traditions from the Protestant Reformation onwards are considered. The spectrum of study includes Protestant, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Pentecostal spiritualities. The study culminates in focusing on current Ignatian and other retreats in their many forms. This includes private devotions to lengthy periods of retreat. 3 Declaration: I declare that “A study of the origins, development and contemporary manifestations of Christian retreats” is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references.
