Who they were

In the village of Guadalupe in the territory of Zacatecas in Mexico, Blessed Miguel Agustín Pro, priest of the Society of Jesus and martyr, who, in a time of persecution against the Church, condemned to death without trial as an accomplice in a crime, suffered the martyrdom he had ardently desired.

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 23 November as a Jesuit priest condemned to death without trial in a time of persecution in Mexico.

The cause

Miguel Pro has been beatified; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: Archdiocese of Mexico: the cause of Blessed Miguel Agustin Pro.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. Reporting one begins with the postulation.
