James Wirth
Brother James Wirth, F.F.S.C., () was a German Catholic Religious Brother who founded the religious congregation of the Franciscan Brothers of the Holy Cross. They are dedicated to the care of disadvantaged youth, especially orphans, primarily through providing vocational training to help them lead successful lives as adults.
==Early life==
He was born Peter Wirth in the town of Niederbreitbach, then in the Rhine Province of the Kingdom of Prussia, on 15 October 1830, the fourth child of Theodor Wirth and Katharina Andries. His father was a shepherd while his mother ran a small pub. He lost his father at the age of nine and his mother a year later. Because of this tragedy, the impoverished children was separated, and Wirth was raised by his uncle and godfather, Johann Peter Andries, who was a teacher in the local school.
Although his uncle eventually made Peter his assistant at the school, for financial reasons Peter could not attend a school for teachers to enter that profession. He started, instead, an apprenticeship as a shoemaker in the workshop of Johann Schmitz, where he also lived (now James Wirth-Straße 19). He produced his masterpiece as a shoemaker at the age of 24, earning the rank of Master craftsman.〔(Die Franziskanerbrüder vom Heiligen Kreuz "Bruder Jakobus Wirth" )〕
