Felipe Hernández Martínez
Salesian student of theology, martyr of the persecution in Spain
Who they were
The decree on martyrdom records that he was born in 1913, made his triennial vows in 1930 and was killed on 27 July 1936 while a student of theology. The Roman Martyrology commemorates him at Barcelona as a religious of the Salesian Society 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 suffered martyrdom in the same persecution.
