Begin in Prayer
Seek silence and openness before God. Missionary discernment starts not with plans, but with listening.
Discerning for the Mission
Serving with humility, preaching with conviction
- Saint Alphonsus
Always on the move
As Redemptorists, we know that changes are constant because we must adapt to our pastoral circumstances. Redemptorists are assigned by their religious superiors to serve where they are most needed — in parishes, missions, retreats, schools, or communities. Unlike many people who stay permanently in one parish or city, Redemptorists usually take a vow of obedience, so they may be reassigned regularly according to the needs of the congregation and the Church.
Cultural Openness
The Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer tends to be open to multicultural experiences because its mission is global and focused on serving people from many different backgrounds, especially those who are poor, abandoned, or marginalized. Because of this, many Redemptorists become comfortable crossing cultural boundaries and learning from different communities rather than staying tied to only one cultural setting.
