"The martyrs of the United States belong to us; they are our brethren in the Faith, our benefactors, exemplars of courage and Christian Charity. It would seem that justice itself would place them where they so rightfully belong, in the forefront of American history and in the hearts of our people."
--Archbishop John Mark Gannon
Chair, Commission for the Beatification of the US Martyrs, 1957
Statement on Devotion
At this time, we earnestly ask the faithful, especially parishes and ecclesial groups, to focus their devotion on those individuals who are now included in this cause, praying for their beatification and asking for their intercession.
