Manuel Gutiérrez Ceballos

Who they were

Born at Torrelavega in the city of Santander in February 1876, he was a valued preacher who exercised that ministry outside Spain as well, above all in Peru; he taught sacred eloquence at Salamanca and was then moved to Las Caldas de Besaya. He was beatified on 28 October 2007 by Benedict XVI with Enrique Izquierdo Palacios and 13 companions of the Order of Preachers.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The decree on martyrdom names him among the Dominicans killed in the 1936 persecution in Spain.
