St. John Neumann-Missionary to Immigrants

Meet Saint John Neumann (1811-1860), the only bishop in North America to be canonized! While studying for the priesthood in his native Bohemia, John wanted nothing more than to be a missionary priest in the United States. When his ordination to the priesthood was delayed, John set sail for America anyway, relying on God to provide for him. Not only did John become a Redemptorist priest, but he was appointed the fourth bishop of Philadelphia, built thirty churches, started the Catholic school system, and ministered to fellow immigrants across the diocese!

Get to know a great figure in United States Catholic history, and be inspired by his determination, trust, and love for the people God entrusted to him.
