175 years of Redemptorists in Bishop Eton Monastery, Liverpool...

BISHOP ETON

This Georgian house, built in 1776, has been the home of the Redemptorist Fathers and Brothers since 1851.

We Redemptorists are a worldwide congregation of men committed to living and preaching the Gospel in ways that are meaningful to the place and culture in which we live.

OUR HOUSE

Originally called Eton House, it was built by Hezekiah Kirkpatrick, a Unitarian Minister, who wished to establish a school for boys. He was followed by a former teacher of Eton College, Mr. Fitzpatrick, who wanted to make it the "Eton of the North".

However, he too had departed by the turn of the century, and the house had several occupants before becoming, in 1843, the residence of the Roman Catholic Bishops, Brown and Sharples. From then on, the house came to be known as "Bishop Eton".

With the re-establishment of the Catholic hierarchy in 1850, Bishop Brown became Bishop of Liverpool (Bishop Sharples died that year) and the house became vacant. Thousands of refugees from the Irish potato famine had flooded into Liverpool and were living in material and spiritual squalor. Many Catholic Religious Congregations of men and women were invited to the city to provide for their spiritual, material and educational needs.

At the special request of Liverpool's champion of the poor, Canon Nugent, the Redemptorists were invited to occupy Bishop Eton in 1851.

"The use of the site dates back to 1776 when Hezekiah Kirkpatrick built the house to serve as a school for boys, the "Eton of the North", hence the name Eton House. Unfortunately the venture failed and in 1843 the house become the residence of the Roman Catholic Bishops, Brown and Sharples and assumed the name Bishops' Eton.

With the re-establishment of the Catholic hierarchy in 1850, Bishop Brown became Bishop of Liverpool (Bishop Sharples died that year) and the house became vacant. With need to provide for the thousands of Irish refugees arriving in Liverpool as a result of the potato fame many Catholic Religious Congregations were invited to the city, and the Redemptorists occupy Bishop Eton in 1851.

St Alphonsus: A Leader after the heart of Jesus the Eternal Shepherd...

Each day of the triduum will focus on two essential qualities of servant leadership. Together, these qualities present a vision of leadership that is needed not only within our Congregation but also in the Church, our families, our communities, and society.

A leader formed in the spirit of Jesus is one who remains constantly centred on Christ;

one who guides with wisdom,

cares with compassion,

encourages with hope,

reconciles with mercy,

lives with humility and selflessness,

and above all

seeks to become a shepherd after the heart of Jesus, the Eternal Shepherd.

As we reflect on these virtues, we will also see how they were embodied in the life and ministry of St Alphonsus. His unwavering commitment to the Gospel, his pastoral charity, his concern for the most abandoned, and his fidelity to God’s will continue to inspire Redemptorists and all who share in our mission today.

Day 2 of the Triduum in honour of St Alphonsus Maria de'Liguori...

Day 2: St Alphonsus as a leader who encouraged and reconciled

On the second day of the triduum, we reflect on Jesus as the one who encourages the broken and reconciles those divided, and on how St Alphonsus lived these same qualities in his leadership. He strengthened discouraged confreres, affirmed their gifts, and gently helped them rediscover their vocation and mission. At the same time, he worked to heal divisions, restore trust, and build unity through patience, dialogue, and charity, never avoiding conflict but addressing it with truth and compassion. His life shows that true servant leadership both lifts others up and becomes an instrument of reconciliation and communion in Christ.
