The Curé of Ars Award honors those whose lives reflect the qualities of Christian dedication and service that marked the life of St. John Vianney. The award is presented annually to individuals and organizations who are committed to healing those in need of God’s reconciling love, a willingness to contribute their gifts towards pastoral care – especially for the needy and poor – and a commitment to our Church as a primary instrument for the divine-human encounter.

The Future of Our Faith. Men and women continue to courageously answer “yes” to God’s call. These individuals in discernment are committed to delivering the Word of God and to be Christ’s presence in our parishes, ministries and faith communities. Your support will help those studying for the priesthood, permanent diaconate and lay ecclesial ministries.

The theme this year is: “A Tapestry of Unity”
