St. John Neumann is the first American male citizen saint! Dr. Chris Mooney recounts how St. John immigrated to the United States from Germany during the early twentieth century when the church in America was still considered a mission territory. During a time period full of hardships, St. John reminds us how obstacles can be used as agents of purification and inspires us to our own missionary call. His feast day is January 5.
