Who are the Five Franciscan Martyrs?
Friar Pedro de Corpa, Friar Blas Rodríguez, Friar Miguel de Añon, Friar Antonio de Badajoz, Friar Francisco de Veráscola are five Spanish Franciscan missionaries who labored and died for their faith in September, 1597, in the area which is now southeast Georgia, USA. On February 22, 1984, their Cause for Canonization was opened by the Bishop of Savannah. The "Five Franciscan Martyrs Region" was named for these five martyrs.
