Who they were

Raimunda Fossas Románs was born on 1 November 1881 at Ripoll in the diocese of Vic and in 1903 was received at Vic into the Sisters of Saint Dominic of the Annunciation, founded by Blessed Francisco Coll; she was given charge of several houses, which she governed with charity and evenness of temper, and in 1935 was called to head the Barcelona college of Saint Catherine of Siena.

On 27 July 1936 she was seized and killed together with four of her sisters. She was beatified on 28 October 2007 by Benedict XVI, among Antero Mateo García and his eleven companions of the Second and Third Orders of Saint Dominic.

The miracles

As a martyr she was raised to the altars without a miracle.

Why that counted as sanctity

The decree on martyrdom records that she was seized and put to death on 27 July 1936 with four of her sisters.

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.
