Saint John Vianney

The Cure d'Ars

1786 - 1859

Feast Day: August 4 (New), August 8 (Trad)

Patronage:  priests

After many obstacles and suffering, St. John Mary Vianney became one of the most celebrated parish priests in the Catholic Church.  He fought for souls in his small town in Ars, France by fasting, praying and hearing confessions until the wee hours of the morning.  He converted many souls and because of this, the Devil often tempted him in the middle of the night, but he was so strong and so rooted in prayer that he was able to triumph.  It is said that the Devil once told St. John Vianney, "If there were three such priests as you, my kingdom [in France] would be ruined."

Saint Peter Julian Eymard

Feast Day: August 2

"You receive Communion to become holy, not because you already are." St. Peter Julian Eymard is responsible for helping many Catholics discover the importance of the Holy Eucharist. Born in Grenoble, France, he entered the seminary at a young age despite his father’s disapproval. After becoming very ill and almost dying, he made a miraculous recovery and was ordained to the diocesan priesthood in 1834, and later joined the Marists. Overcoming many difficulties he established the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament and the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament, both dedicated to adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
