Blessed Josef Mayrnusser

Blessed Josef Mayrnusser, also known as Pepi, was born on 27 December 1910 in Bolzano, Italy, into a pious rural farm family. He was deeply influenced by his brother Jakob, who became a priest, and both were devoted followers of Blessed Antoine-Frédéric Ozanam and Saint Vincent de Paul. Inspired by their examples of service to the poor, Josef joined the Saint Vincent de Paul Society in 1932.
