The significance of relics to those of faith in Catholicism is not to be underestimated. From the beginnings of the Catholic Church, relics from the bodies of saints and martyrs have been reminders to the faithful of the virtue that God worked in their lives; Catholics honor relics of saints as a means of asking intercession before the Lord. Any good that comes about through a relic is God’s doing; but the fact that God chooses to use the relics of saints to work healing and miracles tells us that He wants to draw our attention to the saints as “models and intercessors.” This is a doctrine of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

An immigrant from Bohemia, he came to the United States in 1836, where he was ordained, joined the Redemptorist order, and became the fourth Bishop of Philadelphia in 1852. In Philadelphia, Neumann founded the first Catholic diocesan school system in the US. Canonized in 1977, he is the only male US citizen to be named a saint.
