Hope Summer 2024

Summer’s a good time to relax and reflect on our many blessings. It is a good time to catch up on the latest Redemptorist news. In particular the joyous news that Redemptorist Fathers Bohdan Geleta and Ivan Levytsky were released from Russian captivity on June 28. We are grateful for the constant prayers and support of so many of you.

This issue of Hope Magazine also features stories of Redemptorist ministries and those who have embrace our Savior’s message of reconciliation, redemption, and hope. I’d also like to remind you of our wonderful publishing house, Liguori Publications, that once again has some summer reading selections for children

As always, we thank you for supporting the Redemptorists’ ministries. We continue to hold you in our prayers. I hope that this online edition of Hope Magazine will further inspire and stimulate your faith. Please continue to pray together with us!

Yours in our loving Redeemer,

Reverend Kevin Zubel, C.Ss.R.
Provincial Superior, Redemptorists of the Denver Province
