Kaspar Stanggassinger was a German Redemptorist priest who lived from 1871 to 1899. Born in Berchtesgaden, he felt a calling to the priesthood from a young age and eventually joined the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer after a spiritual experience during a pilgrimage. Although he desired to serve in the missions in Brazil, he spent his ministry teaching students and providing pastoral care. He died at the young age of 28 in Gars due to peritonitis, leaving behind a legacy of devotion to the Eucharist.
