I recently discovered a shrine to St. John Neumann on the grounds of St. Alphonsus Liguori Church in the little town of Peru, Ohio (mailing address is Norwalk, Ohio). I've traveled this route many times on my way to Sorrowful Mother Shrine in Bellevue, Ohio and never knew this shrine and church existed. This church is located within the Diocese of Toledo. St. John Neumann lived at this parish for a short period of time and baptized three babies-the baptismal record of these three children are located in the historic cabin. I hope you will be able to make the journey to this little shrine.

PRAYER FOR HIS INTERCESSION O Saint John Neumann, your ardent desire of bringing all souls to Christ impelled you to leave home and country; teach us to live worthily in the spirit of our Baptism which makes us all children of the one Heavenly Father and brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ, the first-born of the family of God. Obtain for us that complete dedication in the service of the needy, the weak, the afflicted and the abandoned which so characterized your life. Help us to walk perseveringly in the difficult and, at times, painful paths of duty, strengthened by the Body and Blood of our Redeemer and under the watchful protection of Mary our Mother. May death still find us on the sure road to our Father's House with the light of living Faith in our hearts. Amen. Peace be with you! Rosemarie, OCDS
