Celebrating the Care of Souls, in the Spirit of St. John Vianney
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.

Investing in Leadership, Investing in Hope…
In a time when our Church is walking a difficult road—marked by pain, reckoning, and the urgent need for healing—we look to the future with hope. The young people you see in this video are answering God’s call to lead with integrity, compassion, and faith. They are the future of our Church and the heart of its renewal. The Cure of Ars Awards Dinner directly supports their formation and education, helping ensure that our next generation of leaders is prepared to serve a wounded world—and a wounded Church—with humility and courage. Now more than ever, your support matters. Please know that every gift is restricted to this cause alone—investing in renewal, in hope, and in a stronger, more faithful Church right here in Western New York.
