List of Redemptorist Missionaries of Mercy in the CRE

Pope Francis appointed several Redemptorists from the CRE as the “Missionaries of Mercy” for the Jubilee Year.

The Holy Father indicated that these Missionaries of Mercy will be a sign of the Church’s maternal solicitude for the people of God, and He granted authority to them to pardon even those sins reserved to the Holy See.

Offenses with this kind of reserved penalty include desecration of the Blessed Sacrament; physical violence against the Holy Father; a priest’s direct violation of the secrecy of the confessional; a priest’s attempt to grant sacramental absolution to his partner in sexual sin and a bishop’s ordaining another bishop without an express mandate from the Holy Father.
Beyond this, Pope Francis is also commissioning the Missionaries of Mercy to engage in other pastoral activities, such as preaching retreats and parish missions in local dioceses throughout the Year of Mercy.

Below is a list of the “Missionaries of Mercy” in the Conference of Redemptorists of Europe. Missionaries are ready to proclaim the message of mercy and to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation in various centers throughout our Conference.

The Major Superiors, the superiors of communities, parish priests, the persons responsible for the various aspects of pastoral care, who would like to benefit from the ministry of the “Missionaries of Mercy” may write to them personally.
