A Meeting & A Blessing
-
June 23, 2025As usual, the members of the OPC and EPC held a meeting during the second week of June to approve the budgets for the Denver Province and its communities. They reviewed various reports from offices, committees, and ministries, and discussed multiple issues affecting the Province.This year, however, marked the first time we convened in the conference room of the new Ligouri Publications building, which formerly served as the Redemptoristine monastery.
One of the meeting agenda items was the future ministry of Liguori Publications, as presented by Fr. Thomas Santa. We extend our gratitude to Fr. Thomas for his dedicated efforts in renovating and reorganizing the office spaces and warehouse of the building. A new focus of Liguori Publications will be to showcase many programs digitally, utilizing the social media expertise of Fr. Charles Vijay Kumar, director of the Holy Redeemer Foundation of the Province of Bangalore, India.
On the late afternoon of Thursday during that week, Fr. Tom invited the Province leadership team to an Open House at the new facility. This event began with the blessing of the chapel, offices, and buildings by Provincial Superior Kevin Zubel, and concluded with a wonderful reception. Several local Redemptorists were invited to the Open House, and it was heartwarming to see the Redemptorist community from the “Rock” Church and those associated with the St. Clement Health Care Center.
During his blessing remarks, Fr. Kevin highlighted the legacy of the Ligouri Publications ministry, emphasizing how the “Apostolate of the Pen” has been a significant blessing for the Denver Province over the decades and making the Redemptorists known to God’s people.We express our gratitude to all former Redemptorists associated with Liguori Publications Presidents, Editors, and Preachers. We continue to pray for the Redemptorist confreres and the entire staff of Liguori Publications, wishing them success in their continuing ministry to God’s people in our modern era.
