passerat

Feast Day: 30th October

Joseph Passerat was born in Joinville, France, in 1772. He served as a drum major and Quartermaster in Napoleon's army until one day he skipped into Germany. His quest for the priesthood led him to Warsaw, where under the direction of Saint Clement, he entered the Redemptorists. For 20 years, Clement used Passerat in his plans for expansion and chose him to succeed him as vicar general of all the Redemptorists in northern Europe. Passerat sent the first six Redemptorists to the U.S. in 1832, and for 28 years, fostered the American Mission. Saint Clement called him the Great Pray-er, a legacy that he has stamped upon the New World Redemptorists. His cause for Canonization is progressing in Rome.

Thanks to the Redemptorists of North America
