The Cure Of Ars
Yesterday the Church celebrated the 150th anniversary of the death of Saint John Vianney, the Cure of Ars. Known for spending up to 16 hours per day hearing confessions, he was responsible for a spiritual awakening in his rural area of France in the 19th century. He is the patron saint of parish priests and Pope Benedict has invoked his intercessions for the Year of the Priest.
