CSsR Lithuania: Advent retreat...
...for Redemptorists and their partners in mission
Since 2018, the Redemptorist community in Lithuania has been working closely with confreres from various provinces to strengthen their mission. From retreats to Bible courses to Advent gatherings, these efforts have fostered spiritual growth and fellowship. This year, the focus is on the Mystery of the Incarnation during a retreat in Šiluva, led by Fr. Maurice O’Mahony. Here’s how the mission continues to evolve.
Since the Slovak Redemptorists began their mission in Lithuania in September 2018, our small missionary community has often been supported by confreres from the Bratislava-Prague Province and other provinces.

The Redemptorist family celebrate the
Final Professions, Diaconate Ordinations, and a Thanksgiving Mass
The second week of November 2025 will long be remembered in the Redemptorist Region of Zimbabwe as a moment of abundant grace and renewed hope.
In a region still young in its growth, the Church witnessed a milestone that had not been seen in more than a decade, the first time since 2013 that such a large group of confreres made their final profession and were ordained to the diaconate. It was a week of celebration of Final Professions, Diaconate Ordinations, and a Thanksgiving Mass on 8th, 9th and 13th of November 2025 in which vows were sealed, ministries begun, and the Redemptorist family celebrated God’s enduring faithfulness.
Saturday, 8 November – Final Profession of Vows (St Augustine Parish, Hatcliffe)
The celebrations opened on Saturday morning at St. Augustine Parish in Hatcliffe, where six Redemptorist Brothers made their Perpetual Profession of their lives to God, an unprecedented act in the history of the Zimbabwe Region.
Brothers Terrence Chigodora, Sylvester Kanjiwa, Elvis Tawanda Chirara, Noel Kudakwashe Makoni, Bothwell Chimhende, and Phillip Takudzwa Mandibaya professed vows of Chastity, Poverty, and Obedience for life before Fr Richard Reid, CSsR., the Provincial Superior.
Their “yes” echoed far beyond the walls of the church. As each Brother knelt and spoke the words of profession, many were moved by the courage and freedom behind such a lifelong commitment. The celebration drew families, parishioners, and confreres together in a spirit of gratitude. The courtyard gathering that followed was filled with song, ululation, and heartfelt embraces, capturing the joy of a Region watching its mission grow before its eyes.
Sunday, 9 November – Diaconate Ordination (St Alphonsus Formation House, Harare)

Dear friend,
I would like to thank you for the time that we have all shared at the NRVP Conference 2025. Honestly, I cannot thank you enough for taking time to be part of the day from your busy schedule. I hope that you went back home with renewed spirit to serve the Lord and do the vocations ministry and to walk along with the young people.
