Saint John Mary Vianney mug with a sculpture of the saint praying

The photograph shows a sculpture of the saint in a black cassock, surplice and purple stole, with hands joined. The representation preserves the devotional work’s character and identifies a priestly figure. Choose this design for someone familiar with his history or who appreciates images associated with parish communities, adding your own message when giving the gift to explain its personal meaning.

John Mary was born into a farming family in Dardilly and faced difficulties in completing his education. Charles Balley supported his preparation and defended the possibility of his ordination. His life recalls the effort of studying and the support of those who accompanied him before his ministry in Ars. This context can give meaning to a gift for someone who teaches, supports a vocation or has a connection with his spirituality.

Four life milestones on the reverse

The Saint John Mary Vianney mug includes birth in Dardilly on 8 May 1786 and death in Ars in 1859. Beatification in 1905 and canonization in 1925 appear as separate stages. His name and commemoration on 4 August complete the text. Choose it for his feast or to thank someone for their support.

Before ordering, you can rotate the composition in the 3D viewer to examine the image and text from different angles. Selecting Both sides displays two opposing views of the same design, with rotation still available. Choose the handle orientation for a right-handed or left-handed user. The number of mugs you wish to receive is selected separately from the views shown.

We print the composition by sublimation. Choose the printed text language in the customiser and check it in the preview. Choose this gift for the name, history or devotion that connects you with its recipient, and accompany it with a few personal words about why you thought of them. Our collection of religious mugs includes other figures and celebrations, so you can dedicate each gift to someone in your family or community.
