Who they were

In the same place (Paris), on the same day and year, Blessed Pierre-Jacques-Marie Vitalis, priest, and twenty companions, martyrs, killed out of hatred of the Church in the same circumstances at the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

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 2 September as a priest killed with twenty companions at the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés 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.
