St. John Neumann Comments
This American saint was born in Bohemia in 1811. He was looking forward to being ordained in 1835 when the bishop decided there would be no more ordinations. It is difficult for us to imagine now, but Bohemia was overstocked with priests. John wrote to bishops all over Europe but the story was the same everywhere no one wanted any more priests. John was sure he was called to be a priest but all the doors to follow that vocation seemed to close ... Continue Reading

I'm looking for a prayer that I kept in my wallet for many years and lost about a year ago. It was written by St. John Neumman and had a part in it that went,"I am a link in a chain, I have a purpose. I may not know it in this life but will be told it in the next...: I would love to have this prayer in it's entirety. If anyone knows it and can send it I would appreciate it immensely. They are words that I have lived by for many years. Thank you.
how would u cite this article???
dis is awesome!!! who ever made dis website shood giv themselves a pat on da bak!!!!!!!!!! :-)
Who ever made this site,thank you. This was very helpful and provided all the info. I needed to do a report. THANKS SO SO SO MUCH.
The story of St. John N. on this site helped me add information to the story I presented to the children. What an example of joyful faith and service! The kids are really helped by bringing these Saints lives to them in an engaging way.
Thanks for the insight. We could sure use another John Neumann now. The grade school Catholic education I received in the 60's was far superior to public schools...what a blessing....which I didn't figure out until I went to a public high school.
What a great story, man and saint. Amazing to think of how many Americans have gone through the Catholic schools system and how many schools now we have lost or risk of losing.
As a cradle Catholic, the names of the Saints are heard very early in life, I appreciate your site for bringing depth and meaning to each so I can better understand the richness of my faith.
Really inspiring,increasing more thirst for the kingdom of god!
totally awesome dude
this saint rules.
is there a symbol for him
