Today is the feast of our only Oratorian martyr, Blessed Salvio Huix.
Early in the morning (4:30am) on the 5th August 1936, the feast of Our Lady of the Snows, the Bishop and 20 others were told that were going to be taken for trial at Barcelona.
They then recited the Credo together and were made to dig their graves. One account tells that Mgr Huix was offered his life if he would abjure his faith. This he refused to do, but asked one favour, that he might be the last to die.
As each was killed, he blessed them. One of the militia men, objecting to this, shot him through the hand; he continued to bless with his left.
