Who they were

At Paris in France, the passion of Blessed André Abel Alricy, priest, and seventy-one companions, martyrs, for the most part priests, who, after a first massacre carried out the previous day, were shut up in the Seminary of Saint-Firmin as in a prison and slaughtered out of hatred of the Church. Among those named is Blessed Nikolas Verron, priest.

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 September among the martyrs, mostly priests, slaughtered in the Seminary of Saint-Firmin in Paris out of hatred of 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.

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.
