…before St. John Vianney??? It seems as if there must have been one, but I’ll be jiggered if I can figure out who it was. Anybody out there have any ideas?

Thanks!

An early patron of priests was St. Philomena. In 1961, however, Pope John the 23rd issued a ruling that said there was not enough evidence to prove that this Saint existed. I have studied the info about this saint. She was a very popular saint and Italians named their daughters after her. Much of what we know about her came from “Private Revelation.” Thus, you can see why this ruling was made. St. Philomena pray for us…If you can.

I think St. John Mary Vianney might be, or very close to it
