Who they were

At Almería in Andalusia in Spain, Blessed Aurelio María (Benvenuto) Villalón Acebrón, Brother of the Christian Schools and martyr, killed out of hatred for the Church.

The miracles

As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 13 September as a Brother of the Christian Schools killed at Almería out of hatred for the Church.

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.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
