Yesterday in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, Fr. Raymond Cayré, Fr. Gérard-Martin Cendrier, OFM, Roger Vallé, seminarian, Jean Mestre, layman, and forty-six companions were beatified. They were killed in hatred of the faith in 1944-45 during the Nazi occupation of France. Pope Leo XIV today said: “Let us praise the Lord for these martyrs, courageous witnesses to the Gospel, persecuted and killed for remaining close to their people and faithful to the Church!”
