The Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (LatinCongregatio Sanctissimi RedemptorisCSsR), commonly known as the Redemptorists, is a religious congregation of the Catholic Church, dedicated to missionary work and founded by Saint Alphonsus Liguori at Scala, near AmalfiItaly, for the purpose of labouring among the neglected country people around Naples. Members of the congregation are Catholic priests and consecrated religious brothers and minister in more than 100 countries.

Many Redemptorist churches are dedicated to her.
