    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.
