01 Redemptorists in Thailand: Introduction (English)

The story of the Redemptorists should begin in the year 1939. In that year bishop Gouen applied to the Holy See for more missionaries to assist the work of the Church in Siam. Bishop Gouen was the Ordinary of the huge mission comprising all of Northeastern Thailand and Laos. The Holy See in turn asked the Redemptorists if they could find someone to accept this task. The Redemptorist Superior General, Father Patrick Murray, looked at the roster of provinces and saw that the St. Louis Province in the United States had many members, big ordination classes and no foreign mission. So, St. Louis was asked, the province answered the call and agreed to come to Siam.
