Félix Barrio Barrio
Claretian brother, martyr of the persecution in Spain
Who they were
Born at Villafranca Montes de Oca, in the province of Burgos, on 8 March 1883, he made his religious profession as a coadjutor brother on 19 March 1899 and was killed on 14 October 1936. Pope Francis beatified him among the Claretian martyrs of Spain on 21 October 2017.
The miracles
As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.
Why that counted as sanctity
The decree on martyrdom records that the companions were recognised as killed for their faith in Christ and in 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.
