The second 2025 meeting of the TMAC (Transition to Ministry and Apostolic Community) program has concluded in Long Branch, New Jersey. This program is designed for all newly ordained or perpetually professed members with five or fewer years of profession.
For the past few years, it has become almost a tradition for the final session of the TMAC program to take place at the San Alfonso Retreat House in Long Branch, New Jersey.
As planned, the gathering, which took place from November 17 to 21, 2025, was attended by 23 confreres. On this occasion, Bishop Michael Brehl, C.Ss.R., from the Diocese of Pembroke, Canada, led the group as the main preacher.
At the St. Alphonsus Retreat House, they were able to share prayers, meals, and fraternal fellowship. Bishop Brehl offered reflections that greatly helped the group, inspiring each member’s commitment, and his reflection on leadership in the Church today, particularly as Redemptorists, was a blessing.
