Know Your Russian Catholic Martyrs!

The Russian Orthodox Church had many souls who endured great persecution heroically during the dark years of Soviet oppression. What a lot of Catholics do not know, is we have several of our own from Russia to be inspired by.

Please pray for their beatification and canonization. Given their fidelity to the See of Peter, they should never be forgotten, but (I believe) raised to the dignity of the altar as the martyr saints I believe them to be.

Our existence in Russia remains and there is hope for our brothers and sisters who are Catholic. First Byzantine Catholic Church built in Russia.
