VICENTE QUERALT LLORET AND 20 COMPANIONS

We list here 21 martyrs who were victims of the fierce religious persecution that in the mid-1930s presumed to eliminate the Church of Spain. Their martyrdom, like that of other priests, sisters, brothers, and lay people, is a beautiful and exemplary page in the History of the Church and the Vincentian Family. In the group, there are Vincentian Missionaries, Daughters of Charity, and young members of the Miraculous Medal Association. The Beatification took place on Saturday, 11 November 2017, in Madrid, and coincided with the 400th anniversary of the Vincentian Charism (1617-2017).
