How does a humble farm boy with very little education become the patron saint of priests? In this homily, Bishop DeGrood recounts the life of St. John Vianney, his love for the Eucharist, harassments by the devil, and the spiritual impact he had on the souls he ministered to and continues to inspire today. Bishop DeGrood asks for the prayers of the faithful for our priests through the intercession of St. John Vianney, who is a holy role model for them.
