The year 2002 marked a double anniversary for one of Philadelphia's own, St. John N. Neumann, C.Ss.R.: the 25th anniversary of his canonization, and the 150th anniversary of his episcopal ordination as fourth bishop of Philadelphia. This volume of essays on Neumann's intellectual formation, ministry, theology and spirituality commemorates these dual historic occasions. Among the specific topics studied are: Neumann's student years in Prague, his namesake St. John Nepomuk, his ministry as catechist and bishop, his establishment of the 40 Hours Devotion on a diocesan-wide level, his devotion to Mary and St. Joseph, and the reference to Neumann's ordinary and practical sanctity in Vatican II's Dogmatic Constitution on the Church. This book hopes to foster a renewed understanding and appreciation of, as well as stimulate further research on, the only male U.S. citizen to be declared a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.
