Mid-Sexennium Meeting and Conference Assembly, October-November 2025

On October 27, at the Cristo Redentor Retreat House in Puerto Rico, our Congregation’s mid-year meeting began. The meeting commenced with Holy Mass, presided over by the Superior General, Fr. Rogério Gomes CSsR, and continued with moments of reflection, sharing, and fraternal communion.

During the morning, Fr. Rogério presented the synodal path of the General Government, highlighting the six points approved in the XXVI General Chapter, which have guided the life and mission of the Congregation throughout these years.

The proposed path includes the following stages:

• 2023: Year dedicated to the Community
• 2024: Year dedicated to Formation
• 2025: Year dedicated to the Mission
• 2026: Year dedicated to leadership
• 2027: Year dedicated to Redemptorist Spirituality
• 2028: Review of the Apostolic Life, in preparation for the XXVII General Chapter.

It is worth remembering that the congregation is preparing to celebrate its 300th anniversary.
