Italian Dominican martyr (1425–1460)
Feast: 10 April (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
At Tunis on the coast of North Africa, Blessed Anthony Neyrot, priest of the Order of Preachers and martyr, who, carried off by force to Africa by pirates, denied the faith but, with the help of divine grace, on Holy Thursday publicly took up the religious habit again, atoning for his earlier fault by stoning.
The miracles
The Roman Martyrology does not describe the miracles approved in the cause.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 10 April as a Dominican priest who, having denied the faith in captivity, publicly returned to it and was stoned at Tunis.
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.
