John Baptist Mary Vianney was born at Dardilly, near Lyons, France, on 8 May 1786. After many difficulties, he received Holy Priesthood in August 1815. He was Parish Priest of Ars, France, for nearly forty-two years.
He became a model for all his Brethren, in The Sacerdotal Ministry, by his pastoral zeal, and by the unflagging ardour of his Prayer and Penance.
Sitting for up to sixteen hours a day in The Confessional, he healed Souls and sometimes bodies, as well. His simple Catechism Preaching touched the hearts of adults, as well as those of children. Meanwhile, he chastised his body as an Act of Reparation and Impetration for sinners.
He died on 4 August 1859. He was Beatified in 1905 by Pope Saint Pius X, who had been a Parish Priest, and Canonised by Pope Pius XI in 1925.
