Tomorrow, Saturday, we will gather in joy to celebrate our annual Redeemer Day—our Congregation’s official Feast Day, entrusted to us by the Vatican. This significant day invites us to give thanks to Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, after whom our Congregation, our ministries, and all of Redeemer Health are honored to be named.
Although miles may separate us, Sisters of the Redeemer in the United States, Germany, and Tanzania will unite as one international Congregation in celebration of Redeemer Day. Each part of the Congregation will mark this festive day with a special Mass, during which time we will renew our vows of religious consecration and rejoice in our shared devotion and commitment to Jesus the Redeemer.
We will also celebrate the growth of our Redeemer Associates by welcoming a new Associate and our first four Young Redeemer Associates. Current Redeemer Associates will renew their commitment to live out the Redeemer Charism and Spirituality and to serve in the spirit of Jesus Christ the Redeemer. We are very grateful this year to welcome the Most Reverend Efren V. Esmilla, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, as the Presider of this Mass.
To our cherished Partners in Mission, we offer our sincere appreciation. Your unwavering commitment to the mission helps carry forward the legacy of our Founder, Blessed Alphonse Maria Eppinger and the Sisters who have gone before us. Please know that you will be remembered in prayer with deep gratitude during this special Redeemer Day Mass.
May God bless you abundantly with joy and inner peace during these beautiful, colorful days of spring and especially on Redeemer Day!
