Cure of Ars House of Discernment to be dedicated
Dedication of the Curé of Ars House of Discernment June 19th
Bishop James S. Wall will launch The Year of the Priest in the Diocese of Gallup by dedicating a House of Discernment of vocations to the priesthood. The facility which formerly housed Our Lady of Mount Carmel Center, will be a place of prayer and formation in Christian living for men who are seriously considering a priestly vocation.
The Campus which encompasses three different houses will retain the name of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, but the House of Discernment will be named “Curé of Ars” the title by which St. John Vianney was known. The title simply means “ the curate” or parish priest of Ars, which is the town in France where the saint labored for the spiritual wellbeing of his people.
The Dedication will consist of sung Solemn Vespers, the blessing of the facility, and a reception beginning at 7pm on Friday June 19th. The Curé of Ars house is located at 208 Cedar Avenue in Gallup.

During the Year of the Priest, the pope will proclaim St. John Vianney to be patron saint of all the world's priests. At present he is the patron saint of parish priests. This year marks the 150th Anniversary of the St. John Vianney’s death. Gallup is also home to St. John Vianney Parish which has an outdoor shrine to the Saint.
