Welcome to the Fall Edition of Hope! We are fast approaching All Souls Day. Every Sunday we say that we look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. When we pray for those who have died, those words become real.  As Redemptorists, we join our prayers to yours for all who have departed, so that we will all one day celebrate together the fulfillment of our hope, and see the glory of God in the life of the world to come.

As a community our many ministries give us much to reflect on this fall. We are particularly hopeful in sharing with you news of Fathers McAndrew’s and Zubel’s participation in the “Catholics on the Border” program in El Paso. Read also about our ongoing work with migrants in the Mississippi Delta. Get an update on our Houston community one year after Hurricane Harvey.  And finally, let’s all celebrate together 75 years of Redemptorist presence in the Amazon made possible through your continued generosity. I pray that this online Fall edition of Hope Magazine will inspire and stimulates your faith.

Yours in our loving Redeemer,
Very Reverend Stephen T. Rehrauer, C.Ss.R.
Provincial Superior, Redemptorists of the Denver Province
