The Congregation of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer (Latin: Filii Sanctissimi Redemptoris, Latin siglum: F.SS.R.), known as the Transalpine Redemptorists or The Sons, are a religious institute of the Catholic Church canonically erected in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Aberdeen and based on Papa Stronsay in the Orkney Islands, Scotland, as well as in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. Their monastic rule is based on that of St. Alphonsus Liguori, although they have no formal connection to the Redemptorist religious institute.
The congregation was founded as The Transalpine Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (C.SS.R.) on 2 August 1988 by Father Michael Mary Sim C.SS.R. as a traditionalist Catholic Redemptorist religious community affiliated with Society of St. Pius X, and were called the Transalpine Redemptorists. On 3 December 1987 Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre officially blessed the undertaking of the foundation.
Originally based at the Monastery of the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, they moved to the Mother of Perpetual Succour Monastery in Joinville, Haute-Marne, France in 1994 until they bought the island of Papa Stronsay on 31 May 1999. There they established the Golgotha Monastery, and publish The Catholic, a monthly since 1982. They promote their own version of a Redemptorist Purgatorian Confraternity.
