A Visit from the Heart
“God is so good! What a privilege, honor, blessing and gift it was for us to have Fr. Patrice bring to us the wonderful relic of the heart of St. John Vianney. More impressive than even the relic itself, was the beautiful faith of so many people as they came to pray.

~Fr. Troy Gately. April 28, 2018.
