The shooting guard, Howard Carter, attended Redemptorist High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He went to college at Louisiana State University from 1979 until 1983.
Those four letters, "C.Ss.R.," behind the name of a Redemptorist stand for Congregatio Sanctissimi Redemptoris. The official Latin title given to this religious order can be translated into English as "Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer." Members of the Congregation are more commonly called "Redemptorists." It is a fitting name since they continue the work of Christ's Redemption in a very special way. Their task is similar to that of the first apostles -- to bring the message of salvation to all people.
Some important events in St. John Neumann's life include his ordination as a priest in 1836, his move to the United States as a Redemptorist missionary in 1836, his founding of the first Catholic diocesan school system in the U.S., and his consecration as the Bishop of Philadelphia in 1852.
The painting known as "Our Lady of Perpetual Help" is attributed to the Italian artist Francesco Botticini, although its origins are somewhat unclear. The icon is believed to have been created in the 15th century and was later modified and popularized in the 19th century by the Redemptorist order, which helped spread its devotion. The image features the Virgin Mary holding the child Jesus, with angels on either side, conveying themes of compassion and intercession.
Mary is referred to as Our Lady of Perpetual Help due to a specific icon that depicts her holding the child Jesus while an angel presents him with the instruments of the Passion. This image emphasizes her role as a compassionate intercessor who provides constant aid and support to those in need. The title "Perpetual Help" reflects the belief that Mary continually offers her assistance and protection to the faithful throughout their lives. The devotion to this title gained prominence in the 19th century following its adoption by the Redemptorist order.

St. John Nepomucene Neumann, Most Reverend, was the 4th Bishop of Philadephia, Pennsylvania and the first canonized US bishop. St. John was born in Bohemia (present day Czech Republic and Slovakia). He studied at the University of Prague and was a distinguished scholar, completing his education in 1835. While preparing for ordination to the priesthood, St. John was inspired to journey to the US by the letters of Fr. Frederic Baraga (later Bishop of Marquette) to the Leopold Missionary Society. St. John arrived in the US in 1836. He was ordained at New York City, NY on 25 June 1836 and spent the next four years in active missionary work among German immigrants around Niagara Falls. In 1840, Fr. Neumann joined the Redemptorist order, becoming the first of their number to be professed in the US (1842). Ten years later, Archbishop Francis Kenrick of Baltimore, Maryland consecrated and elevated Fr. Neumann to the See of Philadelphia in his role as Primate of Roman Catholic Church in the US (28 March 1852). Bishop Neumann worked strenuously to improve education; at the time of his consecration there were but two parochial schools in his diocese, but by the time of his death eight years later, the parochial schools numbered about 100, making him an important figure in the organization and development of the American Catholic school system. Bishop Neumann erected 50 churches and advanced work on the cathedral. He was the first US bishop to introduce the 40 Hours Devotion in 1853. Bishop Neumann had a major role in the 1st Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1852. Pope Pius IX invited Bishop Neumann to Rome in 1854 to participate in the formal definition of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Bishop Neumann was beatified by Pope Paul VI in 1963. St. John was canonized in 1977. St. John's feast day is 5 January.
