Patron Saint of Parish Priests Perfect Confessor Pope Benedict XVI "Take courage! Fix your gaze on our saints." Taped in Ars, France Come with us to the little hamlet of Ars in France, where we trace the life of the this Super Saint, known as a Saint of the Eucharist, and perfect confessor. Visit his church in Ars and venerate his incorrupt body; see his confessional, the rectory he lived in, his bed the devil set afire, the Shrine to his incorrupt heart, and the altar where Our Lady appeared to him, and where he was healed through the intercession of St. Philomena. See the school and orphanage he founded. Relive with us the difficulty he had becoming a priest, and the struggle to turn the little town of Ars into a religious town, by closing down four taverns and focusing the people on the one Church. Learn about the many people who came from all over France, including royalty and princes of the Church, to have him hear their confessions and give them absolution.
