ARS BASILICA
Go there and contact
Basilica of Ars in rotunda, with a gilded bronze shrine where Jean-Marie Vianney rests, receiving a crowd of visitors.
Born in Lyon, the son of peasants, Jean-Marie Vianney touched the hearts of thousands of devotees with his simplicity as a confessor. Canonized in 1925, then elevated to the rank of patron saint of all parish priests, Jean-Marie Vianney now rests in a gilded bronze shrine within the beautiful rotunda basilica. Next to the majestic edifice is the small church where the parish priest carried out his apostolate. Hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to the Ars shrine every year. The crowds are particularly large on August 4, the anniversary of the good Curé's death.
