On October 5, 2000, all Redemptorists, lay associates, and friends were invited to attend a special Mass in honor of our newly beatified Father Seelos. The Mass took place at 10:00 a.m. in the church of St. Mary of Victories, 744 South Third Street, St. Louis, MO. Father Seelos died on October fourth, but since Saint Francis already had that date, the feast of Blessed Father Seelos was set for the next day, the fifth. The feast is not only a Redemptorist feast, but the American Bishops have approved it for the whole country. The The main celebrant of the Mass was the Most Rev. Michael J. Sheridan,

We Redemptorists now have four canonized saints, four Blesseds, three Venerables, twelve individual Servants of God plus the twenty-one martyrs of the Spanish Civil War. Locally, the Redemptorist priests are based at Ligouri Publications |
