In our parishes we are engaged in sacramental ministry, catechesis, and outreach to the poor. Redemptorists are involved in a wide variety of social ministries that deal with such issues as immigration, refugees, the incarcerated, homelessness, poverty, unemployment, workers’ rights, women’s issues, exploitation of child labor, and racism.
These social ministries include numerous food banks, soup kitchens, counseling centers, shelters, and other facilities to bring God’s saving grace and love to those who have been marginalized, oppressed, abused, or abandoned.
Redemptorists operate 17 parishes in the Northeastern and Southeastern United States (ranging from Boston, MA to New Smyrna Beach, FL and as far west as Lima and Bluffton, OH). Redemptorists also run a retreat house in Long Branch, NJ, as well as three parishes (with their various chapels) on English-speaking islands in the Caribbean.
