St. John Vianney, pictured in a stained-glass window, is widely known to
Catholics as the Cure d’Ars who won over the hearts of his villagers in France by
visiting with them, teaching them about God and reconciling people to the Lord
in the confessional. Pope Benedict XVI formally opened the Year for Priests June
19, urging all priests to strive for holiness. “The church needs priests who are
holy, ministers who help the faithful experience the merciful love of the Lord
and who are convinced witnesses of that love,” the pope said at a prayer service
in St. Peter’s Basilica. CNS photo/Crosiers
