At Barcelona, again in Spain, Blessed Francisco Bandrés Sánchez, priest of the Salesian Society and martyr, who also in the same persecution confirmed his faithfulness to the Lord with his blood.
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 3 August as a Salesian priest martyred at Barcelona.
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.
