About Vietnamese Martyrs
The Vietnamese Martyrs are Catholic martyrs who were persecuted and killed for their faith in Vietnam, primarily during the 19th century. They were canonized as saints by Pope John Paul II on June 19, 1988.
Feast Day: November 24
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, You granted the Vietnamese Martyrs the grace to bear witness to their faith even unto death. Through their intercession, grant us the courage to live our faith authentically in our daily lives. Amen.
