Day 1 of the Triduum in honour of St Alphonsus Maria de'Liguori...
On this first day of the triduum, Fr. Ivel CSsR reflects on the servant leadership of Jesus, who guided and cared for his disciples, and on how these same qualities were lived by St Alphonsus.
Through his wisdom, compassion, and dedication to the poor and to his confreres, Alphonsus led others with humility, strengthened them in their vocation, and kept the Congregation focused on Christ and its mission.
May his example inspire us to guide and care for others with the heart of the Good Shepherd.

Confreres under the age of 50 years gathered in St Mary's Monastery Kinnoull, Perth, Scotland to share, discuss, pray and recreate together as we move to become a larger province in the coming years.
The Provincial Superior of Canada, Fr Santo Arrigo CSsR., was invited to come along and speak about the experience of the Redemptorists in Canada. There they had the issues of language, Provinces and Rites to join together as one Unit; the Province of St Anne de Beaupré (French speaking). the Byzantine Ukrainian Catholic of Canada Province and the Edmunton-Toronto Province (English speaking). A mighty task and as Fr Santo stated,
"In the end, it was an experience of unity in the Spirit, reminding us that we are no longer separate units, but one, and that this unity is for mission, and that we all have something to contribute towards the future mission of the Province of Canada." Fr. Santo Arrigo C.Ss.R., Provincial Superior, Province of Canada
All in all it was a great experience of being confreres
united together in mission and community!

It's our pleasure to write and share our reflection on the Redemptorist Spirituality Course with our confreres and lay associates, in our Province of London and in the Region of Zimbabwe. We all embarked on Sunday, May 31, 2026, and arrived in Rome on June 1, 2026, from South Africa and Zimbabwe, respectively. It was a great experience in Europe since it was our first time being out of Africa.
