Congregacao Do Santissimo Redentor De Goias

What Congregacao Do Santissimo Redentor De Goias does

The Congregação do Santíssimo Redentor de Goiás is the canonical name for the Província Redentorista de Brasília, a regional division of the global Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (C.Ss.R.) founded in 1732 in Scala, Italy, by Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori and present in Brazil since 1893. Headquartered in Brasília (SHIS EQ QL 6/8, Lago Sul) with administrative offices in Goiânia, the province operates across 11 Brazilian states and the Federal District, delivering Catholic ministry through parishes, missions, retreats, formation programs, and social works. Service recipients include Catholic faithful and parish communities, people with disabilities (313 long-stay patients at Vila São Cottolengo plus ~110,000 annual outpatient consultations and 71,705 CER III rehabilitation treatments), 389 students at Centro de Ensino Especial São Vicente de Paulo, and 900–1,000 people served daily by five Obras Sociais Redentoristas centers in vulnerable areas of Trindade and Goiânia.

The province runs a diversified portfolio of wholly-owned operating institutions: TV Pai Eterno (broadcast television launched May 15, 2019 with parabolic, subscription, YouTube and social-media distribution), Rádio Difusora Goiânia (FM 95.5 since December 2022) and Rede Vale FM, Editora Redentorista (publishing house founded 1988, rebranded back from Scala Gráfica e Editora in June 2024), Loja Pai Eterno (over 20 years of religious-articles retail at the Basílica do Divino Pai Eterno in Trindade plus e-commerce), five Livrarias Redentoristas in Northeast Brazil (Garanhuns, Campina Grande, Caruaru, Recife), IFITEG (40-year-old higher-education institute for philosophy and theology), Vila São Cottolengo (healthcare jointly administered with the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul), and retreat houses including Casa Mãe do Perpétuo Socorro. International mission presence extends to Mozambique and Limerick, Ireland.

Revenue is generated through a mix of voluntary donations and offerings, religious-articles retail (Loja Pai Eterno, Livrarias Redentoristas), publishing (Editora Redentorista, including the recognized Nova Novena de Nossa Senhora do Perpétuo Socorro), advertising/sponsorship on owned broadcast media, healthcare billings via the SUS public system, and tuition at IFITEG. The 2025 recognition of the Nova Novena as intangible cultural heritage of Pará and the installation ceremony of the Brasília Province in 2025 mark the most recent strategic milestones. The congregation has no traditional ownership; governance follows Catholic canon law under a Superior Geral (currently Padre Rogério Gomes, CSsR) and a Provincial Government. The core technology stack is conventional broadcast and e-commerce infrastructure; no proprietary software, AI, or developer-facing APIs are disclosed.
