Who they were

At Nagasaki in Japan, Blessed Bartholomew Gutiérrez, priest of the Order of Hermits of Saint Augustine, and five companions, martyrs, who out of hatred of the Christian faith were first plunged into boiling sulphurous waters and then burned at the stake. Among those named is Blessed Vicente de Santo António, priest of the Order of Hermits of Saint Augustine.

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 of Nagasaki plunged into boiling sulphurous waters and then burned out of hatred of the faith.

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.
