Over the weekend, our confreres from the former Vice Province of Bangkok celebrated the establishment of their own Province. The first 4 missionaries from the then St. Louis Province came to Thailand in 1948.
As a young man, St. John Neumann wanted to be a priest but there were too many priests in his home country! Can you believe it? But he did not let that stand in the way of his dream. He decided to become a missionary to America where the need for priests was great, and became the first Redemptorist to profess vows in the United States.
