CAUSAALBERTUS MARCO ALEMAN necnon AUGUSTINUS MARIA GARCIA TRIBALDOS et XV SOCII

The Cause concerns 25 “presumed martyrs”: 8 Carmelite Fathers and 16 Brothers of the Christian Schools.

Eight Brothers included in this process were part of the Community of the Editorial Bruño, the Spanish publishing house that printed school books composed by Brothers for their schools and which were often used in state schools because of their value.

On 30th July 1936, a group of communist militiamen came to the house on the pretext of inspecting it because weapons and money were hidden there. After interrogation, they put the Brothers on a truck and took them to an area of Madrid called Casa de Campo where they were shot.

The other eight Brothers belonged to various other Schools in Madrid. They were hunted down and met the same fate as their Brothers.
