Who they were

At Ciudad Real in Spain, Blessed Fidel Fuidio Rodríguez, religious of the Society of Mary and martyr, who, in a time of persecution against the faith, was shot and passed to the Lord.

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 17 October as a Marianist religious shot for the faith at Ciudad Real.

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.
