The Visitation began with an online meeting with the entire Provincial Council, enabling the visitors to gain an initial understanding of the Province, the country's social and ecclesial realities, and the confrères' mission in Canada.

The Province is both bilingual and biritual. English and French are the two official languages used throughout the Province, while both the Latin Rite and the Ukrainian Catholic Rite are celebrated, reflecting the Province's commitment to serving diverse Catholic communities.

The visitors then travelled across Canada from coast to coast, covering a vast geographical area that spans five time zones. This extensive itinerary provided an opportunity to experience firsthand the diversity of the Province's communities, ministries, and apostolic works.

The first community that was visited was St. Patrick’s Community in downtown Toronto, which takes care of St. Patrick's Parish and the Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. Here, the visitors were able to meet with the Provincial staff and collaborators, the province's communications and media team, the Ignite Youth and Young Adult mission team, the province's finance office team, and other lay collaborators of the province and community.

The next community that was visited was the Perpetual Help Redemptorist Community in North York, Toronto where the visitors spent a day with the confrères and also met with a couple of confreres who reside in a seniors home in the city.

The visitors then travelled to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories to visit the Redemptorists ministering there, where they were able to appreciate the mission to the Indigenous or First Nations peoples of the country. There are currently two confrères working in Yellowknife along with Redemptorist Bishop Jon Hansen, C.Ss.R.

The visitors also visited the Ukrainian Catholic Redemptorist community of St. Joseph's in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This community mainly ministers to the Bishop Velychkovsky National Martyr's Shrine and St. Joseph's Parish. Here, they were able to meet with the confrères, the lay associates, and the parish community. They also visited a seniors' home where one of our confrères lives and works as a chaplain. They spent time with the Shrine team to understand the strong devotion to Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky, and also spent a day visiting the Welcome Home Community, a Redemptorist house of hospitality that has been distributing food and providing spiritual and temporal assistance to our less-fortunate brothers and sisters for more than 34 years.

The next community that was visited was the Ukrainian Catholic Redemptorist community of Sts. Peter and Paul in Saskatoon where the visitors met with the confrères, the parish community, and the lay associates. They also took time to visit two Redemptorist retired bishops, Bishop John Pazak, C.Ss.R. and Bishop Michael Wiwchar, C.Ss.R. Our confrère, Bishop Michael Smolinski, C.Ss.R. currently serves as the Bishop of the Eparchy of Saskatoon.

After this, the visitors went to Vancouver, British Columbia to visit the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. Here, they had the opportunity to interact with the Redemptorist lay associates, the school board of the parish-affiliated school, and other parish groups and parishioners.

The next community that was visited was St. Joseph’s Redemptorist Community in Grande Prairie, Alberta. Here, the visitors had the chance to meet the community, as well as the lay associates, the parish groups, and the parish staff. They celebrated with them the Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer.

The visitors then went right across the country to New Brunswick and visited the community at St-Louis-de-Kent. The visitors were able to visit the parish communities that this community took care of, especially those located in Baie-Sainte-Anne and Pointe Sapin which were French-speaking. They also visited the English-speaking parish communities of Rexton and South Branch, as well as the two Indigenous parishes of Elsipogtog and Indian Island, where they also got a sense of the mission of the Redemptorists to the First Nations communities.

The next community the visitors visited was the Redemptorist Community and Shrine of Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré near Québec City in Québec. The visitors were present for the final days of the annual novena and Feast of St Anne and had meetings with all the lay collaborators of the Shrine of Sainte-Anne. They also participated in the services and the evening candlelight processions, met with the community, as well as with the confrères residing in different nursing homes in the surrounding area. They also visited the Fraternité Saint-Alphonse outside the walls of Québec City which takes care of 27 resident men who are struggling with alcohol and drug addiction and are currently going through therapy and rehabilitation. The Fraternité has about 60 Lay Associates who assist this ministry of the Redemptorists in their own ways.

The final community that was visited was the St. Teresa's Community in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. The visitors met with the community, the parish staff, the different parish organisations and groups, the Redemptorist Adult Faith Formation Team (RAFFT), and the Redemptorist Lay Missionaries and Associates. They celebrated the feast of St. Alphonsus with the entire parish community during the Saturday evening mass in the church.

The visitation concluded with two meetings - one meeting with Fr. Rogerio Gomes, C.Ss.R., Superior General, the two visitors, and the entire Provincial Council on August 3 and another online meeting on August 4 with all the confreres and lay missionaries of the province. In this latter meeting, Fr. Gomes addressed the confreres and along with the two visitors, answered questions from them. A couple of the Redemptorist Bishops were also present at the online meeting.

Fr. Santo Arrigo, C.Ss.R., Provincial Superior, expressed his gratitude to Fr. Gomes and the two consultors for their fraternal visitation of the Province and for the spirit of fraternity, encouragement, and shared commitment to the Redemptorist mission that marked their visit.
