The Holy Father’s homage this morning was one of the most significant moments of the centenary of the French priest’s canonization. The Curé, who lived from 1786-1859, is the patron of parish priests.
The Parish of St. John Vianney in Rome, located on the Via Lentini, is currently looking after the saint’s incorrupt heart, reported Vatican Radio.
The relic will return to Ars on Wednesday.
