About Franz Weiser and Boston College (source: wikipedia):
Franz Weiser (* 21. March 1901 in Vienna as Franz Xavier Weiser; † 22. October 1986 in Weston (Massachusetts)) was an Austrian theologian and writer.
Life: Franz Weiser grew up in Bruck an der Leitha. He attended the Hollabrunn high school and the Kalksburg college. After graduating, he studied philosophy, theology and education as a member of the Jesuit order at Berchmanskolleg in Pullach, at the University of Innsbruck and at Marist College in Poughkeepsie (New York). He received his doctorate in theology and was ordained a priest in Innsbruck in 1930. He then worked in youth pastoral care in Vienna and was president of the Marian Student Congregation in Austria. He edited the association magazine Unser Fahne, in which his first literary works also appeared.
Franz Weiser was sent by his order to the United States in 1938 with the task of studying the history of the Jesuit mission in North America. He worked as a curate and pastor of the German-speaking Holy Trinity German Catholic Church in Boston (Massachusetts). After the end of the Second World War he was active in church aid work for Germany and Austria. From 1950, Weiser taught ethics and cultural history at Emmanuel College in Boston, from 1961 to 1966 he was professor of ethics at Boston College, and from 1966 until his retirement in 1971 he held a professorship in liturgical history there.
In addition to his work as a priest and theologian, Franz Weiser wrote an extensive literary work consisting of novels, stories, travel reports and plays. A large part of his narrative work deals with figures from the history of the Catholic Indian mission. Weiser's youth books Alfred's Secret and Light of the Mountains, which have been translated into numerous languages, were particularly successful. Weiser also published a number of popular theological works in English in the United States, most notably The Christmas book, which was a sales success.
