The Reluctant Saint
The Redemptorists are celebrating 75 years of their presence in Malaysia
and Singapore. In conjunction with the celebrations is the production
of the musical - The Reluctant Saint, held at KL Pac. The musical is based on the life of Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, the
founder of the Redemptorists Congregation. Born into a noble family in
Naples, Alphonsus' life as a young hotshot lawyer takes a turn when he
answers God's call to serve. The musical is also being performed in order to raise funds for the
Redemptorists Congregation in Haiti. The Congregation there suffered
tremendous loss and destruction of their buildings in the major
earthquake in January 2010.
