Did you know that at the corner of 5th and Girard Avenue in Philadelphia stands a large stone building, St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church?  From the outside, St. Peter appears to be just another church among many such buildings in a city rich in Catholic culture.  Beneath the church is a Shrine whose altar rests atop a glass case containing a man's remains, which are garbed in a wax mask and dressed in bishop's garb.  The modesty of the Shrine's surroundings is a stark contrast to the fact that this Shrine is the resting place of one of the giants of the Catholic Church in the United States, Redemptorist Saint John Nepomucene Neumann.  And that is surely the way St. John Neumann would want it.

Come and visit the National Shrine of St. John Neumann
 and meet this holy, humble saint who dedicated his life to God and God's people. 
Walk on holy ground and meet the "peoples priest."
