Ordained at Piacenza (Italy) in 1802, Andreis was transferred (1806) to Rome, where he served as preacher, professor of theology, and apostle to the poor. While on a visit to Rome in 1815, William Du Bourg, the bishop of Louisiana, arranged for Andreis to serve his diocese. Andreis was appointed temporary vicar-general and superior of a band of missionaries who embarked for the American missions. After a long delay at the Seminary of St. Thomas in Kentucky, where he taught theology, Andreis arrived in St. Louis in 1817 and was appointed vicar-general. He was professor and administrator of two colleges, one for seminarians and one for laymen, and supervised the erection of a novitiate at the Barrens, 80 miles (130 km) south of St. Louis. During his lifetime he gained a reputation for sanctity, and several miracles were attributed to his intercession after his death. |
