NRVP Conference...

National Religious Vocations Personnel Conference – 3rd November 2018
The annual NRVP conference will take place on Saturday 3rd November at Our Lady of Victories, Kensington, London. 

This year we will have Fr Richard Reid CSsR as our main speaker, speaking on the topic of ‘Vocations Promotion and Accompanying Discerners’. This is an opportunity to learn from another dedicated vocation director on what he feels is important to vocations ministry today. In the afternoon we will have two sessions, one on using social media in vocation ministry, and another on boundaries in vocation ministry. We have also invited five people who are relatively new in religious life to give us a few minutes on what it’s like entering today. There will be an opportunity to meet them and ask questions.

They were tempted, however they realised

that they had a more pressing engagement...

Would you make a Holy Hour for Vocations?...

This is Lent and there is always time to pray, so why not commit to making a Holy Hour for the Intention of getting Vocations for Church, locally and worldwide?

Have a look at the letter that Fr Richard CSsR, our Vocations Director, wrote to the  confreres of the Province. At the end of the letter, he says, "Please feel free to share this letter with anyone you like..." So we thought we would share it with you!

A mass which was attended by representatives of relatives, some parishioners from all Redemptorist parishes and the majority of Redemptorists resident in Zimbabwe was held at 10 AM on 29 of July 2017. Fr Tryivis Moyo preached and gave a sermon on the life in the Novitiate, the significance of the profession ceremony and the future.

Brs Adam Mukabva and Alfred Zembe will now join other students at St Alphonsus House under the wings of Br Benjamin Posvo, the Student master and his assistant Fr Gideon Sidinga. This new development means that there will twenty Redemptorist students in Zimbabwe – thirteen in philosophy (6 first years; 4 second years; 6 third years) and seven in theology (2 first year [Adam and Zembe]; 3 third year; 2 fourth year).

Brs Adam and Alfred CSsR - Makorokoto!

Redemptorist Studendate on Tour!...

Over the seminary half term break the Redemptorist formation community, based in Clapham, took the opportunity to visit some of our historic Churches. We set off early to drive to Worcestershire to Blackmore Park and the Church of Our Lady and St Alphonsus. The Redemptorists were there for six years and in that short time had over 400 conversions! It must have been a truly blessed mission and entering the church it was immediately obvious that this was a Redemptorist house. The shrine of Our Lady, the Icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Succour and the chapel of St Alphonsus with its stained glass depicting his life made us feel at home. Fr Charles Corrigan C.Ss.R. said mass and in his homily reflected upon those Redemptorists whose ministry had changed the lives of so many people.
