When Borders Disappear: Redemptorists Across Asia & Oceania Unite to become One Missionary body

Ready to buy a domestic ticket and get an international travel adventure free? The heart of this episode explores a landmark restructuring: on 9 November, the Vice Province of Malaysia and Singapore will merge with Oceania (Australia, New Zealand, Samoa, China) and Sri Lanka, forming one expanded international province known as the Province of Oceania. Fathers Terence Wee, Gerard Louis, and John Hodgson also acknowledge the emotional journey involved - letting go of familiar identities, navigating grief and excitement, and embracing a multicultural missionary future guided by the Holy Spirit. The conversation concludes with an invitation to those discerning religious life: if one loves community, serving others and journeying together in mission, then the Redemptorist vocation remains a joyful and meaningful calling.
