Ambrosio María Chuliá Ferrandis
Capuchin Tertiary priest, martyr of the persecution in Spain
Who they were
The decree on martyrdom records that he was born at Torrente in 1866 and was a true Franciscan for his sincerity and humility. He was put to death at Montserrat in the province of Valencia on 18 September 1936; the Roman Martyrology commemorates him there as a priest of the Third Order of Capuchins of Our Lady of Sorrows and martyr. He was beatified on 11 March 2001 by Pope John Paul II.
The miracles
As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology says he received the crown of martyrdom for the witness he gave to Christ.
The cause
The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.
