Who they were
The decree on martyrdom records that he was born at Manresa in 1878, took his last vows in 1910 as a temporal coadjutor brother and was the carer of the sick in his community. He was killed on 28 September 1936; the Roman Martyrology commemorates him at Valencia as a religious of the Society of Jesus and martyr. He was beatified on 11 March 2001 by Pope John Paul II.
The miracles
As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology says that in that persecution he was received by Christ into glory.
