I\u2019ve been closely involved in this Cause for Beatification since 2014 when I visited the Congregation for the Causes of Saints and the Postulator of the Cause in Rome with the now Archbishop of Atlanta, Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM Conv. \u00a0Many more news to come!<\/p>\n

On behalf of Bishop Stephen D. Parkes, the Diocese of Savannah is grateful to announce that on January 27, 2025, Pope Francis authorized the promulgation of the Decree concerning the martyrdom of the Servants of God Pedro de Corpa and Companions, of the Order of Friars Minor, killed in odium fidei (\u201chatred of the faith\u201d) in September 1597.

The publication of the Decree \u2013 declaring that the friars were true martyrs for Christ \u2013 is an official act that paves the way for the celebration of the rite of beatification. From this day forward and until beatification, Friar Pedro de Corpa, Friar Blas Rodr\u00edguez, Friar Miguel de A\u00f1on, Friar Antonio de Badaj\u00f3z, and Friar Francisco de Ver\u00e1scola are entitled to the title of \u201cVenerables.\u201d

Details regarding the rite of beatification will be forthcoming.

Bishop Parkes would like to thank the Holy Father; His Eminence Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints; the Order of Friars Minor of the Our Lady of Guadalupe Province; and all of those who have worked to promote the Cause of the Georgia Martyrs for over four decades. May Venerable Friar Pedro de Corpa and Companions intercede for families everywhere, and inspire husbands and wives around the world to live out the sacrament of marriage with love, truth, and fidelity.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
