The Congregation of the Disciples of the Lord (also known as Congregatio Discipulorum Domini in Latin) is a Catholic religious institute founded by future Cardinal Celso Costantini, an Italian, in 1928 at Xuanhua (Süanhwafu) of Hebei Province in China,[1] with the help of the Spanish Redemptorist missionaries.[2] It is one of Catholic institutes to be established in Asia.

The Congregation has been based in Taiwan since 1949 after Joseph Yang and other religious members fled; the congregation fell under the direction of Archbishop Joseph Guo Jincai.[3][4]
