Jean Marie du Lau
French Roman Catholic martyred Archbishop of Arles (1738-1792)
Feast: 2 September (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
At Paris in France, the passion of Blessed martyrs Jean Marie du Lau d'Allemans, François-Joseph and Pierre-Louis de la Rochefoucauld, bishops, and ninety-three companions, clerics or religious, who, gathered in the convent of the Carmelites, were slaughtered for Christ out of hatred of religion for having refused to take the impious oath imposed on the clergy during the French Revolution.
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 2 September as a bishop slaughtered with his companions at the Carmelite convent in Paris for refusing the oath imposed on the clergy during the French Revolution.
