This statue depicts the meeting of St. John Vianney with a young boy when the Saint, as a newly ordained priest, was walking to the village of Ars. Near the village he asked a young boy he met if the boy knew the way to Ars. The boy replied that he did, but what would Saint John give him if he showed him the way to Ars. The Saint replied "You show me the way to Ars and I'll show you the way to Heaven."
