Martyrs of Turon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The martyrs of Turon is the name given by the Catholic church to a group of eight members of the Catholic, religious-teaching congregation Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, also known as De La Salle Brothers, and one Passionist priest who were executed by insurrectionists in Spain, during the Asturias uprising of October 1934. They were canonized in 1999 by Pope John Paul II.[1]
