07/09 St. Augustine Zhao Rong and Companions
Today on July 9th we celebrate the lives of St. Augustine Zhao Rong and Companions. The 120 martyrs in this group died between 1648 and 1930. Most of them (87) were born in China and were children, parents, catechists or laborers, ranging from nine years of age to 72. This group includes four Chinese diocesan priests. They gave the ultimate sacrifice for our faith. God Bless!
