1. Adolph served young working men in the Industrial Age who were moving to the cities and in danger of losing their faith.
2. This society that formed from these men, now called the Kolping society, now includes 450,000 in 54 countries!
3. Kolping was beatified in 1991, the 100th anniversary of the encyclical Rerum Novarum.
He looks pretty cool in that picture. This guy sounds great! Thanks for sharing about him!
