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.

Jewel for the Journey:

“Do you listen to your grandparents? Do you open your hearts to the memories that your grandparents pass on? Grandparents are like the wisdom of the family; they are the wisdom of a people. And a people that does listen to grandparents is one that dies! Listen to your grandparents. Mary and Joseph are the family, sanctified by the presence of Jesus who is the fulfilment of all God’s promises. Like the Holy Family of Nazareth, every family is part of the history of a people; it cannot exist without the generations who have gone before it. Therefore, today we have grandparents and children. The children learn from their grandparents, from the previous generation.” – Pope Francis, during the Year of Faith in 2013.
