Saint Clement Mary Hofbauer (1751-1830)

Born in Tasswitz, Austria, in 1751, Clement Mary Hofbauer lived in turbulent times. When his father died in 1757, his mother stood him before a crucifix and said, “Henceforth, He is your father. Take care that you never grieve Him by sin.” This was the principle by which he lived.

As a child, Clement would gather the household together to say the Rosary, his favourite devotion. He fasted until nightfall on Saturdays in honour of the Blessed Virgin, and distributed to the poor food and money of which he deprived himself. Above all, he longed to be a priest, but he simply did not have the means. “Priests,” he said, “are the light of the world and the salt of the earth.”

Despite obstacles and persecution, he was ordained in 1785.

Initially, he was stationed in Vienna, but Emperor Joseph II set about closing religious foundations. Clement was sent to St Benno’s in Warsaw, Poland, to begin two decades of missionary labours. He preached, built orphanages and schools, and established a vast Redemptorist presence in the city. When Napoleon suppressed all religious institutions, Clement and the Redemptorists were imprisoned in 1808, each one then exiled to his own native land.
