In 1987, on the occasion of the 200th Anniversary of the Death of St. Alphonsus, Superior General Juan Lasso de la Vega requested the Historical Institute of the Congregation to initiate a long-term project of providing the Congregation with a general history of the Institute. Over the past three decades, a large number of confreres who specialize in history have prepared assigned areas of the project. The History was also to serve as a response to Vatican Council II’s call for religious institutes to restudy their charisms.
This CD contains the NEW English translation of Volume II/i of The History of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer published by the General Government’s Historical Institute.
The work is being published under the auspices of the North American Conference of the Congregation and Liguori Publication who offer it gratis to the Units which use English as one of their languages. It is being published only in digital form; there will be no print edition. This volume is being produced together with the two earlier English volumes so that the entire translation that has been completed so far can be found in a single source and be read in any of three different formats: .doc, .pdf, or E-book. The material on this CD will also be permanently available on three web sites: those of the Historical Institute, of the Denver Province and of Liguori Publications.
Liguori publications will also provide additional free copies of the CD to Redemptorists if requested. Address such requests to [email protected].
