In 1788 he took up residence in Warsaw, where he worked for 20 years, establishing Redemptorist houses in Switzerland and southern Germany. In 1808, after Napoleon ordered the Redemptorist community at Warsaw disbanded and its members exiled, Hofbauer spent the remainder of his life in Vienna. There he established a monastery and continued to seek government approbation for Redemptorist houses, which was granted shortly after his death. He was named patron saint of Vienna by Pope St. Pius X in 1914.
