Come on a journey with Mary Jane Fox to a small village in Eastern France called Ars. St. John Vianney, the patron saint of all parish priests, spent 41 years living in this small town with a population of about 780. The village contains two churches: the old 12th-Century church where St. Vianney preached and a new Basilica of Ars, where you can observe his preserved body in a glass coffin.

On this journey, we will learn about:

• The incredible life of St. John Marie Vianney.
• The area of Ars that have the Basilica, Chapel of the Heart, His home, and the old Church used by the Saint.
• The Sacrament of Reconciliation also known as Confession – a beautiful gift given to us by the Lord.
