76 Catholic English Martyrs and Saints

Today I’m joined by Brendan Dewan, a recent graduate from Grand Valley State University in Michigan, and currently a FOCUS missionary in Ball State University, Indiana. He recently did a pilgrimage to England. He visited the sites connected to many English Martyrs of the Catholic Church, who were persecuted, tortured and executed by the English government after Henry VIII separated from the Catholic Church and established the Church of England. He shares his reflections and the things he learned in those most holy places, and we talk about St. Thomas More and St. Edmund Campion who were martyrs, and we share some thoughts about St. John Henry Newman.
