Who they were

Victorinus Pak Dae-sik was one of the Korean martyrs listed by the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, and was killed at Daegu on 12 October 1868, at the age of 56.

He was beatified on 16 August 2014 by Pope Francis, with the other martyrs of the same cause.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The Dicastery for the Causes of Saints names him in its list of the Korean martyrs beatified on 16 August 2014.

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.
