As the youngest son of the farmer his brothers and sister wantet to let him continue at the farm (this was usual at this epoche - the youngest son shall become the new farmer). Only, Konrad wanted to go to the monastery; with many problems, he was rejected several times, so he could not become priest. With 30 years of age he found his place at the cloister of the capuchines at Altötting, he was admittet with the name Konrad and he got an place at the door for his whole life

Konrad spent 41 years at the door, met thousands of pilgrims with different wishes. Many children from poor familys at Altötting also came to the door begging, and there was always something for each of them. Even when working 18 hours each day at the door, the prayor was the center of Conrad's life.Conrad also had the gift of prophecy and of reading people’s hearts During every free minute day and night he prayed. He had also an extraordinary desire for the holy eucharisty. Thats why he got daily communiun, exceptional to the normal mode at the cloister.

With 75 Years he became inable to do his duty due to symptoms of heigh age. Even at the hour of his death he went up, wantet to go to the door, believing nobody has heard the bell. But he brook down, did not speak any word until the hour of his death.

Unfortunately Conrad did not want to be photographed, so this is the unique photo who exists.


We present you this german saint for 2 reasons:
1. This man was devoted to god and did his duty, prayed and gave an help whereever there was an need for. But he did nothing spectacular or mysteriuos. And I think, this kind of christians has to be canonised as well as people who were already known all around by her spectacular actions. 2. Here in Nevada we dont hear a lot of European Churches and most of their saints, in Europe Kateri Thekavita is nearly unknown. I would like to change this and I hope I will get soon 2-3 holy cards with relic towels to place them there. Unfortunately it is easyer to obtain holy cards and relic towels from European churches than from our blessed Kateri. Maybe this should change. The church can unite people all around the world, this is probably gods will too, but nothing happens if we dont move.
An lot of St. Konrad relics are from Bayern. (Attention, there is another St. Konrad who was Bishop).
