Who they were

Teresa Basulto y Jiménez was a laywoman, born in 1872, who was killed in 1936. She was beatified on 13 December 2025 by Pope Leo XIV among the 124 martyrs of Jaén.

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Killed in 1936 during the persecution in the diocese of Jaén.

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.
