Congregation of the Mother Coredemptrix


The Congregation of the Mother of the Redeemer (Vietnamese: Dòng Mẹ Chúa Cứu Chuộc; Latin: Congregatio Redemptoris Matris, abbreviated CRM) is a religious institute within the Roman Catholic Church that is based in Vietnam and dominated by Vietnamese people. The congregation is better known by its former name, the Congregation of the Mother Coredemptrix (Vietnamese: Dòng Đức Mẹ Đồng Công Cứu Chuộc or simply Dòng Đồng Công; Latin: Congregatio Matris Coredemptricis, CMC), which uses an unofficial title applied to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Most Rev. Dominic Maria Trần Đình Thủ, CMC, is the congregation's founder and superior.

The congregation's motherhouse is located in the Thủ Đức District of Ho Chi Minh City. The United States Assumption Province maintains a monastery in Carthage, Missouri, where it hosts an annual Marian Days pilgrimage, the largest annual Roman Catholic festival in the United States. Before 1975, the congregation was relatively small in Vietnam, overshadowed by the Dominican, Franciscan, Jesuit, and Redemptorist institutes, among others. However, in the United States, virtually all Vietnamese Roman Catholics are aware of the congregation.
