Blessed Brothers Martyrs of Barcellona<\/h2><\/div>

\"\"CAUSA Lucas a Sancto Joseph, Leonardus Joseph <\/em>et LXII Socii et Sociae<\/em>\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Cause concerns 64 \u201cpresumed Martyrs\u201d: 44 De La Salle Brothers<\/strong>, 15 Discalced Carmelites, 1 Carmelite Sister of Charity, 4 Carmelite Missionary Sisters and 1 Seminarian.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In 1936 lasallian institutions in Catalunya were 32. When the persecution came, they all had to be abandoned; many were pillaged and some burned. The fate of the Brothers was more painful, because 26 communities had Brothers killed and in one case, the entire community.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When the persecution became more violent, Bro. <\/strong>Leonardo Jos\u00e9<\/strong>, Visitor, and Bro. <\/strong>Dionisio Luis<\/strong>, Director of the Bonanova school, were in a monastery in the Cerda\u00f1a area, preparing the District’s four retreats, which were to begin a few days later. On July 17 they left the monastery and went to the school at La Seo de Urgel, since the next day there was to be a pilgrimage from the school to the Shrine of the Virgin of Meritxell in Andorra. But when they arrived they learned of the sad news that came from Barcelona and from other places. They wanted to leave immediately for Barcelona, in order to be close to the Brothers and to those in formation, but the transportation connections were impossible. They also attempted to go to Toulouse to reach Barcelona by air, but this, too, was impossible. They sought accommodation in the Cadi Hotel on July 22. The owner, Jamie Sarri\u00e1, was a fervent Catholic. Meanwhile, they kept on searching for other ways to reach Barcelona. But, on August 7, they were caught and the next day killed at a place called “Ba\u00f1os de Sugra\u00f1es” near Traverseras. Some inhabitants of the village buried their bodies, which later were exhumed and identified. Today their remains are in San Martin de Sasgayolas.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The same fate was reserved for other 95 Brothers of the District; the youngest among them wasn\u2019t yet 20 and the oldest was 60. In the canonical process of the diocese of Barcelona are included 44 of these Brothers.<\/p>\n
