to strive for spiritual perfection. In the Pope's words the Curé d'Ars is "a true example of a pastor at the service of Christ's flock." There are statues of Vianney in many French churches and in Catholic churches throughout the world. Also, many parishes founded in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries are named after him. Some relics are kept in the Church of Notre-Dame de la Salette in Paris. John Vianney is remembered in the Anglican Communion with a commemoration on 4 August. "Heart of a Priest" relic tour In November 2018, Vianney's heart was transported to the United States for a 6-month nationwide tour. As Joe Bollig explained in his article detailing the relic's unexpected stop in Kansas City, "The heart receives special veneration because in Scripture it is considered to be a person’s hidden center of emotional, intellectual and moral activity. Saint John Vianney is said to have lived his life according to the heart of Christ and united his heart to Christ’s." By the end of the tour, "the relic [had] traveled almost 36,000 miles — almost one and a half times the circumference of the Earth — and was available for over 1,200 hours of public veneration." The tour of the incorrupt heart of John Vianney came to the Parish of St. Catherine of Siena in historic Nichols, CT, on April 29, 2019, with a liturgy celebrated by Daniel A. Cronin, Archbishop Emeritus of Hartford, and concelebrated by Joseph A. Marcello, pastor of St. Catherine of Siena. (Photos of the event available here.)
