A prayer to our buddy

Posted by Karen W.

Growing up in NJ, close to Philadelphia, PA my family was very fortunate to be able to visit the Shrine of St. John Neumann. Here, St. John Neumann’s body is entombed in glass under the altar. Visitors and faithful come from all over the world to ask for his prayers of intercession.

When I was a child, my mom would frequently round us up saying, “Come on everyone. Let’s go see our buddy.” We all knew she was speaking of St. John Neumann. He was and still is our buddy.
