Spirituality, saints, blesseds, martyrs, and Mary

Since 1732, thousands of men have dedicated their lives to the service of God, the Church, and the poor within the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. To learn about key elements of Redemptorist spirituality, click on the Redemptorist crest, to the left.
