Barthélemy Jarrige de La Morelie de Biars

Who they were

In a squalid prison ship anchored off Rochefort on the French coast, Blesseds Louis Armand Joseph Adam, of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual, and Barthélemy Jarrige de La Morelie de Biars, priests and martyrs, who, condemned during the persecution against the Church to confinement on the ships because of their priesthood, died of disease, victims of their charity towards their fellow prisoners.

The miracles

As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 13 July as a priest and martyr who died of disease on a prison ship off Rochefort, a victim of his charity towards his fellow prisoners.
