On the Memorial of St. Nicholas, we recall his outstanding charity toward those in need. 

Jean-Baptiste-Marie Vianney, T.O.S.F., (8 May 1786 – 4 August 1859), commonly known in English as St John Vianney, was a French parish priest who is venerated in the Catholic Church as a saint and as the patron saint of all priests.

Listen in as Fr. Dan Cambra, MIC, shares about the man the Marians call Father Renovator.  In formal portraits, he strikes an imposing figure, with a heavy brow and with piercing eyes that follow you across the room. But then when you open up his 368-page Journal — filled with trumpet blasts of inspiration and rallying cries for renewal — you understand why Blessed George Matulaitis portrait is given prominent placement in every Marian residence around the world. You also understand why his Journal is required reading and why he's the model for the modern Marian.
