The Region of Copenhagen was suppressed and the community in Copenhagen became officially a community of the Warsaw Province, while the community in Odense is now part of new Vienna-Munich Province.

Two Units decided officially about the fusion. The Province of Prague and Viceprovince of Bratislava voted for unification during their respective Chapters in January 2015.

Most of us are Roman Catholics but there are also Redemptorists of Eastern Rites: Greek Catholic, Chaldean and Maronite.
