Music and carols are not new to the Redemptorist which was founded by St Alphonsus Liguori in 18th century Italy. St Alphonsus fully understood the power of music in mission and in 1732, he penned the popular Italian Christmas song, Tu Scendi dalle Stelle, which is still heard around the world revealing God to millions.
