Follow in the footsteps of Saint John Mary Vianney

Known popularly as the Curé of Ars (Parish Priest of the town of Ars), Saint John Mary Vianney had great difficulties in studying for the priesthood, having actually been dismissed from seminary for failure to grasp Latin. However, he persevered and, after some private tutoring, was reaccepted and ordained in 1815. People soon noticed that he prayed with great recollection and celebrated Mass with deep devotion. Very soon, the Curé of Ars had won the hearts of all.


Focus your life on the mercy of the Lord

The reputation of Saint John Mary Vianney blossomed, and soon penitents by the thousands came from all over France to attend his Mass. Eventually, the Curé of Ars became a Secular Franciscan (as they are called today), but remained in the parish and continued to work a 20-hour day, much of which was spent hearing confessions. He lived like that until he was 73 years old. Finally, worn out and exhausted, the Curé of Ars passed away in 1859. Today, he is honored as the patron saint of parish priests.

Enjoy your time with Saint John Mary Vianney and be prepared to be surprised as you journey with one of the most engaging spiritual figures of all time.


A priest from the diocese of Belley-Ars (France), Pierre Blanc is both a parish priest and diocesan director for vocations.

Profile
    Farm hand who in his youth taught other children their prayers and catechism. Ordained in 1815, though it took several years study as he had little education, was not a very good student, and his Latin was terrible. Assigned for a while to Ecully. In 1818 he was assigned to the parish of Ars, a tiny village near Lyons, which suffered from very lax attendance; he began visiting his parishioners, especially the sick and poor. Spent days in prayer, doing penance for his parishioners. Gifted with discernment of spirits, prophecy, hidden knowledge, and working miracles. Tormented by evil spirits, especially when he tried to get his 2-3 hours of sleep each night. Crowds came to hear him preach, and to make their reconciliation because of his reputation with penitents; by 1855 there were 20,000 pilgrims a year to Ars. Spent 40 years as the parish priest.
