Redemptorist Father Richard Boever

Oct 5 marks the feast of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, a Redemptorist missionary who ministered in the Archdiocese of Baltimore at parishes including St. Alphonsus Ligouri in Baltimore, St. Mary in Annapolis and Ss. Peter and Paul in Cumberland. Blessed Seelos came to the United States from Bavaria to minister to German immigrants and also worked with young men in formation to become Redemptorist priests.

George Matysek talks about the inspiring life of Blessed Seelos with Redemptorist Father Richard Boever, executive director of the National Shrine of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos in New Orleans and the author of a newly released book called “Zealous Missionary: From The Perspective Of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos.”
