Redemptorists have fostered devotion to our Lord's mother, to the Saints and to the Eucharist in many forms. St. Alphonsus, our founder, had a strong attachment to Our Lady and, over the years, we have spread devotion to Mary under the title of Mother of Perpetual Help at the invitation of Pope Pius IX.

​

Devotions to Our Lady and to particular Saints have a rich historical tradition in the Catholic church. By recognizing the profound manner in which God has touched an individual life we have, through the ages, been able to focus on the meaning of God's incarnation, the fact that God became human in the world. We recognize that God is not just a supreme being that rules over the universe but that, in fact, God has blessed and continues to bless the world and our daily lives through the lives of ordinary people who have shown the extraordinary power of God's love.
