A couple of short posts in relation to your enquiry HoganWynne.
Here is the Redemptorist's site for the USA - I am hoping that a Redemptorist there should be of assistance.

Some extract replies from a similar question Hogan that may be of assistance.
Alphonse Liguori and Francis de Sales among other great saints were noted for the effectiveness of the missions they preached. It was particularly strong as a Lent or Advent tradition before V2, and its revival is an excellent sign.
It usually consists of a week of preaching services each evening, often with Mass or Benediction and Adoration, possible preceded by a meal, covered dish or whatever. It may be conducted by one or by a team of priests. there is usually a "kick-off" at the Sunday Masses, and the mission begins Sunday evening after a pot-luck supper. I vividly remember the missions conducted in my childhood parish. Attendance was so huge they had to be held in the high school gym. Entire families attended (as a girl scout I helped with child care, that was our service project).
a parish mission was responsible for the life decisions and priority-changing that led to our eventual move down here to Texas and the work we are now doing, and our involvement in the Church.
My parish has a mission week every Spring. We bring in a priest who specializes in this type of work. He usually speaks at all of the Masses on the Sunday before that week and then we have something every night Mon-Fri with at least one night of parishwide reconciliation and one of Mass and/or adoration.
We have a group of lay people who organize this every year as a ministry. If you are interested in having a mission talk with your priest and some like-minded folks about organizing a committee. You need to plan about a year ahead to get the speaker booked. It does cost to bring in these folks, so you have to plan for airfare, etc. Perhaps if you have a small parish you could get together with the next closest parish and do a mission week together?
When I was a kid going to Protestant churches with relatives they had something similar and called it a "revival."
