Join the Redemptorist Archives for an open house with archive tours throughout the day and the unveiling of a new exhibit, “Pulling Back the Curtain: Portraits of Redemptorist Life,” revealing personal accounts from this Catholic order of priests and brothers who have been ministering in the United States since 1832. Learn about Redemptorist life, from their beginnings as seminarians to their diverse missions and apostolates in the United States and abroad. Along the way you will meet Redemptorists such as Brother William Roberts, a leader in lesbian and gay community outreach; Father Tom Forrest, a missionary with surprising connections; Brother Norbert Ledermann, a sketch artist and violinist in the Philadelphia Junior Philharmonic Orchestra, and many more pioneering religious confreres!
