20th anniversary of beatification
We celebrate the 20th anniversary of the beatification of the Dehonian religious Juan María de la Cruz. Pope John Paul II beatified him in Rome on March 11, 2001, with 232 Spanish martyrs, for giving his life for Jesus Christ.
We remember Fr. Juan María de la Cruz, patron of Dehonian vocations, as a tireless seeker of God’s will who did not compromise his deepest convictions.
His life and his death are an example for everyone to follow.
