Cope of St. Jean Vianney, patron saint of priests, gifted by Sisters of Mount Carmel

The cope of St. Jean Vianney (1786-1859), the patron saint of diocesan priests, has been kept in the archives of the Sisters of Mount Carmel since 1878, when Sister Aimee de Jesus Jugnet obtained it as a gift from Father Tocanier, who succeeded St. Jean as pastor. Archbishop Aymond hopes to make the cope available for viewing at NOtre Dame Seminary in the future.
