St John Vianney Medal (Curé d’Ars)

St John Vianney Medal (Curé d’Ars)

A die-cast St John Vianney medal — the Curé d’Ars — supplied wholesale to parishes, seminaries, vocations and clergy ministries, religious-goods stores, and online resellers. Each piece is struck in Italy from durable zamak alloy and finished in an antiqued silver-tone, with sharp relief on both faces and a soldered jump ring ready for a chain, cord, rosary, or keyring; the back is inscribed “Pray for Us.” Each medal measures 22 × 16 mm (about ⅞ × ⅝ inch), and the oxidised finish resists tarnish and keeps the engraving legible through years of daily wear. Medals are supplied in packs of 10, with volume pricing on larger quantities and a low minimum order.

Saint John Vianney (1786–1859) was the humble parish priest of the French village of Ars, known the world over as the Curé d’Ars. Famous for spending long hours in the confessional, where pilgrims came from across France to seek his counsel, he became a model of priestly holiness and zeal. Canonised in 1925, he was named patron of parish priests and is venerated as the patron of priests everywhere. The medal shows him in his cassock with hands joined in prayer, with the French title “Curé d’Ars” around the front.

For buyers, the medal serves a clearly defined audience: seminaries and houses of priestly formation, ordination and ordination-anniversary gifts, diocesan clergy and vocations offices, “pray for priests” and adopt-a-seminarian programmes, the many parishes named for St John Vianney, the pilgrimage to Ars, and stock around his August 4 feast. The compact oval suits display cards, blister packs, and counter merchandising, and pairs naturally with chains or cord stocked alongside it.
