About Our SocietyDedicated to proclaiming the Gospel through prayer,missionary service, and charity.
The Missionary Society of the Redeemer’s Mother was born in response to the call of Saint John Paul II to proclaim the Gospel to all peoples and nations through both witness and word.
Inspired by this missionary vision, the Society seeks to bring Christ’s message of love and salvation to the world through a life of consecration, prayer, service, and charity.
From its humble beginnings, the Society has grown into a vibrant missionary community dedicated to evangelization, pastoral ministry, faith formation, and care for those most in need. Guided by the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the sisters strive to live faithfully their vocation and mission within the Church.
In 1991, Reverend Francis Xavier Nguyen Viet Linh gathered a group of devoted women who desired to dedicate their lives to God in a missionary spirit. This initial community became the foundation upon which the Missionary Society of the Redeemer’s Mother would later be built.
On May 15, 1996, the late Bishop Nicolas officially established the group as a Pious Association (Pia Unio). This marked the first formal step toward ecclesial recognition and affirmed the group's commitment to religious life and missionary service.
A major milestone was reached on April 24, 2004, when the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples officially established the Missionary Society of the Redeemer’s Mother. This recognition confirmed the Society’s missionary identity and its role in the life of the Church.
On July 22, 2004, the Holy See approved the Constitution of the Society. This approval formally recognized its spiritual vision, governance, mission, and way of life, providing a solid foundation for its future growth.
On December 8, 2004, the Society was canonically erected, becoming an officially recognized religious institute within the Catholic Church. This important event marked the fulfillment of many years of prayer, discernment, and dedication.
The Inaugural Mass of the Society was celebrated on December 31, 2004, in the Diocese of Phan Thiet. This joyful celebration formally marked the beginning of the Society’s mission and ministry within the Church.
The Missionary Society of the Redeemer’s Mother celebrates its patronal feast on January 1, the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. This feast highlights the central role of the Blessed Virgin Mary as a model of faith, humility, and total dedication to God.
