We ask you, urgently: don’t scroll past this

Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

Bl. Louis Beltran (Bertrand) and Companions

Facts

The Dominican missionary priest, Louis Beltran, from Barcelona, Spain, was a relative of another revered Dominican missionary priest with the same name, Saint Louis Beltran (+1581), who had served in Latin America. The younger Father Beltran ministered in secret to the persecuted Catholics of Omura, Japan. After being captured and imprisoned by the pagan authorities, he was put to death by fire together with two Dominican lay brothers, Peter of the Holy Mother of God and Mancius of the Holy Cross. Peter, a native of Japan, and Mancius, an elderly man, were both catechists. Peter and Mancius were admitted to the Dominican Order shortly before their execution.
