“The Martyrs were generous with their lives, gave their time to preach, and later accepted death. As living faithfuls, we must not only remember those who have died in order to reap their benefits, but also keep them in our hearts forever,” says Anne Cherop, Executive Director of the Georgiana Daniels Foundation.
“We join everyone in celebrating our Martyrs and being a part of the faith they carried,” she said.
