For many Catholic priests, the idea of leaving a legacy after their death is something that they hope to achieve. Two priests who have ties to Tucson, have been nominated for beatification.
In the Catholic church, this is the confirmation that these people who have passed on have ascended in to Heaven and are able to interceed in situations where a person has prayed in their name.
Reverends Lucas Trinity and Eduardo Ferre were among the nominated on October 28. They were Carmelite missionaries from Spain and served at Santa Cruz Catholic Church here in Tucson. They served the Hispanic Catholic community and eventually became American citizens.
When they returned to Spain, they were murdered for their beliefs. They are know considered martyrs within the Catholic Church because they died for their faith.
