St Joseph's Corner
Saint Conrad of Constance (c. 900–975) was a nobleman who chose service over power, charity over comfort, and peace over conflict. Born into the powerful Welf family of Germany, he gave up a life of privilege to become a priest and later the Bishop of Constance, where he served with deep humility. Conrad was known for:
his gentleness and compassion
his tireless charity to the sick and poor
his skill in calming political tensions
his peaceful spirit in leadership
his devotion to pilgrimages — travelling three times to the Holy Land Although he came from nobility, he lived simply, giving much of his wealth away. He visited the sick, cared for the needy, and made decisions that protected both the Church and ordinary people. His leadership helped bring stability during a turbulent time in medieval Germany.
