Friar Pedro de Corpa and Companions
Visitors to Nativity of Our Lady Mission will note a memorial being constructed to the Friar Pedro de Corpa and Companions. They are five Spanish Franciscan missionaries who were killed from September 13-18 of 1597. Friar Pedro de Corpa had his mission, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, located near present-day Darien.
In 1984, the cause of the martyrs was opened for canonization. The cause for beatification (a step in the canonization process) is nearing completion. We continue to pray for their intercession and for their cause to continue forward to them being declared saints!
