Biography

Blessed Otto Neururer, also known as Ottone Neururer, was born on 25 March 1881 in Piller, Tyrol, Austria. He was the twelfth and youngest child of a peasant family, growing up on a small farm with a mill. Unfortunately, his father passed away when Otto was still young, leaving his mother to raise the children on her own. Although his mother was devout, she suffered from periodic bouts of depression.
