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.

Laura Rhoderica Brown, FSP, loves her community's mission of evangelization. She has served God's people from coast to coast for over 30 years in the Pauline Book & Media centers and has conducted numerous JClub school book fairs in Catholic schools as well as parish exhibits. It is in helping people and in a special way children find the right book that draws them closer to Jesus that gives her life. She believes that the saints are powerful models in our secular world, providing us and our children with real heroes. St. John Neumann became one of Sr. Laura's heroes during her six years of ministry in Philadelphia and led her to write Saint John Neumann: Missionary to Immigrants. She holds an MA in Theology & Pastoral Ministry from Franciscan University.
"Readers will learn about a time in our nation's history when the Church was persecuted; Neumann ministered in Philadelphia at a time when enemies of Catholicism were burning churches, and the biography emphasizes his courage and dedication in a dangerous era."
