}}Holy Redeemer Church in Bangkok, Thailand is a Roman Catholic church established by the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer.[1] (also known as the Redemptorists[1]). It is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bangkok, part of the province of Thailand[2]

Location

The church is located in Soi Ruamrudee, off Phloen Chit BTS Station, close to the foreign embassy district in the city.[3]

Liturgy

The church celebrates mass daily with separate services in Thai and English.[4] The musical elements of the services are provided by an electronic organ and the participation of the congregation.

History

The Parish of Holy Redeemer was established by the Redemptorists in 1949.,[5][6] with the church itself being built in 1954.[5][7] It is built in the traditional Thai architectural style[2][8][9]

Community

Its location in the city lends itself to a large congregation[10] catering to local and international parishioners from many different cultures and walks of life.[5][11][12][13] It also draws many of its congregation from the Klong Toey slums.[14]

Schools

{{Main|Ruamrudee International School}}

The Redemptorists, with the support of expatriate parishioners, founded the Ruamrudee International School in 1957.[15] The school is now located in Minburi and has grown to have a student population of approximately 1300.[15] It grew from the original Thai-medium school, Holy Redeemer School, which remains on the parish property.[2] Ruamrudee follows the American curriculum and uses English as its medium of instruction while Holy Redeemer follows the local curriculum.

Marriage preparation

The parish has a well-established marriage preparation program (Pre-Cana instruction) and serves as the main centre for Roman Catholic parishes in Bangkok to send couples for marriage preparation.[5][16]

Food outreach program
