________________________________

Born in Bohemia, John Neumann prayed from an early age to always do the will of God. At 25, he landed in New York City with one change of clothes and one dollar. He was quickly ordained a priest and sent into New York's wilderness to minister to the German immigrants. He then became the first Redemptorist to take his vows in the United States. He was sent many places and became good friends with another Redemptorist, Francis Seelos. John developed his talents as a pastor, a leader and a financial whiz, but his greatest talent was loving the people he served.

His personal mission was to lead each and every soul in his care to God, one by one. His gift for languages helped him to reach out to everyone. If he didn't know someone’s language, he learned it. Even though he thought he wasn't good enough, he was chosen to be bishop of the huge Diocese of Philadelphia. He built numerous churches, schools, hospitals, orphanages, seminaries and colleges. He brought in many religious orders and started the 40 hours Eucharistic devotion, which still goes on today, all over the country.

His feast day is January 5.
