Title

The Redemptorists, Denver Province

Description

T he Redemptorists are a religious congregation of men founded in 1732 by Saint Alphonsus Liguori. Their mission is to spread the Gospel to the poor and most abandoned. They began this work among the poor and forgotten shepherds living in the hill country surrounding Naples, in southern Italy.

The Congregation grew and expanded its ministry outside of Italy when in 1735 Clement Hofbauer and Thaddeus Heübl returned to their homeland, Austria, to establish the Congregation there. Through many trials the Congregation grew and in 1830 was approached to send missionaries to America. In 1832, when the Congregation was 100 years old, six Redemptorists (three priests and three brothers) journeyed to America. At the present time there are over 5,500 Redemptorists working for people in nearly every part of the world. More than 800 Redemptorists work in the United States and Canada.

These four letters, “C.Ss.R.,” after the name of a Redemptorist stands for Congregatio Sanctissimi Redemptoris. This is the official Latin title given to this religious Order. It can be translated into English as “Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer.” Members of the Congregation are more commonly called “Redemptorists.” Like the first apostles, their task is to bring the message of salvation to all people. The Redemptorists work toward this goal either as priest or brother.
