In 1840, he entered the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Redemptorists). He labored in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. In 1852, he was ordained bishop of Philadelphia. There he worked dilligently for the establishment of parish schools and the erection of many parishes for the numerous immigrants. Bishop Neumann died on January 5, 1860.
