Eleuterio Marne Mansilla
Dominican religious, martyr of the persecution in Spain
Who they were
Eleuterio Marne Mansilla was born at Gusendos de los Oteros in the diocese and province of León on 17 February 1909 and at the age of twenty-two, after a Redemptorist mission in his parish, decided to enter the Order of Saint Dominic, making his first vows on 28 March 1933. He was beatified on 28 October 2007 by Pope Benedict XVI among the martyrs of the cause of Enrique Izquierdo Palacios and thirteen companions of the Order of Preachers.
The miracles
As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Dicastery records that a parish mission led him at twenty-two to enter the Order of Saint Dominic.
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.
