It is a fruit of the Neocatechumenal Way in the service of forming men to become diocesan and missionary priests for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster to serve the New Evangelization.
The Redemptoris Mater House of Formation in the Archdiocese of Westminster was established in 1991[2] by Cardinal Basil Hume and was officially established within the structure of the Diocesan Seminary, Allen Hall Seminary on 13 December 2013 with the public signing of its statute by the Archbishop of Westminster, Vincent Nichols.
The sisters have an office at the convent and give hospitality to the Redemptoris Mater House of Formation through a lease agreement.
The building is the diocesan home of the seminarians who are being formed in the Redemptoris Mater House of Formation whilst they study at Allen Hall for the priesthood.
Fr Francesco Donega was the superior of the House of Formation from 1994 until 2017, leaving to be appointed as Vice-Rector and then Rector of Redemptoris Mater Rome.
