Saints for Our Times: The Martyrs of Vietnam

On November 24, the Church celebrates the memorial of the Vietnamese Martyrs. In 1988, Pope John Paul II canonized all 117 of these holy men, women, and children killed between 1625 and 1886. Today, this group and the thousands of other unnamed Vietnamese martyrs they represent stand as a luminous cloud of witnesses to the Church throughout the world. Come and discover why these holy people are truly “saints for our times.”
