Ramona María Perramón Vila
Dominican sister of the Annunciation, martyr of the persecution in Spain
Who they were
Ramona María Perramón Vila was born at Vic on 28 August 1898 and in 1920 was received in her native city among the Sisters of Saint Dominic of the Annunciation; she served with distinction at the Barcelona college of Saint Catherine and bore a grave kidney disease patiently and humbly.
Wounded by the militia on 27 July 1936, she died shortly afterwards, having first forgiven her killers and prayed that they would be brought back to the right road. 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 forgave the men who shot her and prayed for them before she died on 27 July 1936.
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.
