St. John Vianney 31"

This 31-inch St. John Vianney statue honors the Curé of Ars, the humble French parish priest who spent up to sixteen hours a day hearing confessions. Struggling in his studies and sent to an obscure village, he transformed Ars through prayer, penance, and tireless care for souls, until pilgrims came by the thousands. Pope Pius XI canonized him in 1925, and he is patron of parish priests. His feast is August 4, and priests and seminarians ask his help to be faithful shepherds.

It is a fitting gift for a pastor, a newly ordained priest, or a seminary, and it suits a rectory, a chapel, a side altar, or the hallway outside a confessional, as well as an outdoor grotto.

Finish options: Monotone, Standard Full-Color, and Fancy Full-Color. Monotone and Standard Full-Color are offered for interior or exterior placement; Fancy Full-Color is offered for interior placement only. Made from a lightweight, durable resin-fiberglass blend and painted by hand. +++
