We are a religious community of brothers and priests, living in St Joseph’s Monastery. This mission house of St Joseph’s was established on 8th September 1876.
Redemptorists are passionate about the Gospel and equally passionate about sharing the Gospel message of God’s love for all people with all sectors of society, but especially with those who live on the edges of church and society. There is a special place in our hearts for those who feel abandoned and who have difficulty in finding their way in life.
Living in community is very important for Redemptorists. We are committed to living together as brothers – praying together, working together and supporting each other. We have chosen, as our Constitutions express it, to put the person of Christ at the centre of our community life and we strive day by day to enter ever more intimately into personal union with him.
Preaching continues to be an important ministry for Redemptorists and some members of the community travel from place to place preaching and conducting retreats. The national Redemptorist preaching and mission team today is made up of Redemptorists and lay co-workers who share our charism. Redemptorists are increasingly committed to working in partnership with lay people as this best reflects the Church as the People of God, and it honours the gifts given to each of us by the Holy Spirit to further the Mission of God.

Perhaps more than ever before, there is a need for people who can proclaim courageously the Good News of hope, love and reconciliation in a world where there is so much greed, violence, hopelessness and selfishness. The Redemptorists make a very significant contribution in this area. We would love to hear from you.

Saturday’s evening concert ends the festival with Arvo Pärt’s 1985 work, Stabat Mater, performed here in Just Intonation tuning by the Goeyvaerts Ensemble, adding new shining depths to this spare, devotional masterpiece. Additionally the Ensemble will also perform a new LCMS commission, Chant, from Galina Grigorjeva. Séverine Ballon will also perform Karen Tanaka's The Song of Songs. The concert ends with a version of Gavin Bryars' haunting, ethereal Jesus Blood, the UK composer leading a festival ensemble — including young musicians from Music Generation Louth — in a perfect end to the festival.

Stephenstown House, County Louth.
Stephenstown House, County Louth.
Built in 1785 by Matthew Fortescue for his new bride Marian McClintock.
A square Georgian house of 2 storeys over a basement 5 bays long and 5 bays deep. Extended in 1820 by the addition of 2 wings of one storey over basement. One of these wings was further demolished later in the 19th century. Some time in the earlier part of the 19th Century the windows were given Tudor-Revival hood mouldings but later the house was refaced with cement and the hood mouldings replaced by classical pediments and entablatures.
In 1817, William Galt was contracted by Matthew Fortescue to build two ponds, the water being needed for new gardens which had recently been constructed at Stephenstown house and also to drive to the grinding mills in the house farmyard.
William Galt who was married to Agnes Burns, the sister of the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns.
Galt was retained as manager to Mr. Fortescue after the completion of the ponds with the generous salary of 40 guineas per annum - the post also came with the use of a cottage as well as land for keeping a cow and growing vegetables. Galt adorned the whole site with a bewildering array of trees and shrubs with those years being part of the golden age of tree planting in Ireland. William and Agnes had no children but lived comfortably for the rest of their lives. Agnes lived to be 72 years old and died on October 17th 1834, her husband survived her by 13 years and died on March 3, 1847. The couple are buried in St Nicholas Cemetery in Dundalk.
Stephenstown pond is now a nature park and tourist attraction
Marianne Fortescue (1767-1849) married to Matthew Fortescue and for whom Stephenstown house was built wrote a diary at the family home on Merrion Street in Dublin where they were staying when the 1798 uprising broke out. Her diary is of significant historical value. In July 1798 she was able to return to Stephenstown house, Country Louth.
Stephenstown house remained in the Fortescue family until recent times.
After the death of Mrs Pyke-Fortescue in 1966, Stephenstown was inherited by her nephew Major Digby Hamilton who sold it in 1974.
It was let fall into ruin in the 1980's.

From The Camera of Peter Campbell
Peter Campbell died at the age of 53 in Dundalk Ireland on the 5th of May 1979.
Among the legacy of memories he left behind was a collection of short films he made between the mid 1960s
to early 1970s.
This video contains footage of an Armagh pilgrimage to Lourdes from about 1965
Comprising mainly of family members and some of his friends and neighbours mainly from the Father Murray Park and Saint Nicholas Avenue areas of Dundalk these films were typical of home movies of the period with poor quality footage and stilted action shots being very much evident.
Nevertheless they remain a little time capsule of events and people some of whom are no longer with us.
The video was made some years ago principally for viewing by family members and a few friends .
