St John Neumann was the child of a German father and Czech mother, born in 1811 into a large well-to-do family, was an excellent student, and drawn to the religious life. His ordination was delayed in part because his home country had an overabundance of priests, so he set off for America to request ordination there and to minister to the thousands of immigrant Catholics who lacked enough priests. Father John started in Buffalo and was soon sent to outlying districts in the wilderness where he lived in a log cabin and traveled from remote farm to remote farm. His parishioners were from many different countries, but he knew 12 languages so he was well-equipped. He joined the Redemptorists in Pittsburgh and eventually became the bishop of Philadelphia; built 50 churches, started a cathedral, opened over 100 schools, and wrote newspaper articles and catechisms. The prayer cards which come with our rosaries, medals and pictures are home-made, created using a "greeting card" program on a computer and printed in full color on nice quality paper. Although they are not like the usual smaller professionally printed prayer cards, most of our customers prefer them since they are like a pamphlet with 4 "pages" and several images, prayers, patronages and often other information about the saint or Catholic devotion.
