The Secret of the Curé D’Ars

The life of St. John Vianney (1784–1859) was marked by boundless humility and obedience to God. In 1818, when this simple French priest was assigned to the parish of Ars — a town of just 250 people — few would have guessed that it would lead to his international notoriety (even without modern communications!). You will see how this happened — how Vianney’s tireless work in his parish quickly flowered into a radical spiritual transformation of the community and its surroundings.

Written by Henri Ghéon with a foreword by GK Chesterton, acclaimed dramatist Henri Ghéon presents a model of great holiness whom all readers can appreciate.
