San Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila
The Filipino proto-martyr, Lorenzo was born in Binondo, Manila. As a young man,
he became a member of the Rosary Confraternity. Implicated in a crime of
unclear circumstances, he left his wife and children and set sail for Okinawa
in 1636 together with other Dominican Missionaries. Arrested, they were brought
to Nagasaki where they underwent hideous torments for their Christian faith,
giving up their souls to God on September 28, 1637.

Beata Juana de Aza
The mother of Saint Dominic, she was beatified by Pope Leo XII in 1828. Devotion to her persisted through the centuries despite the poverty of records. The mother of three priests, one of whom died a death of heroic charity and two who were raised to the altars of the Church, she can safely be judged to have been not only a valiant woman but also a saintly one. Her picture, as that of any mother can be seen reflected in her sons.

Born a dwarf, deformed, and blind, Margaret was abandoned by her parents but
found refuge in the homes of the poor. By her radiant charity, she became a
source of hope and consolation for the poor, the outcast, the sick and the
imprisoned, to whom she ministered tirelessly as a Lay Dominican. She is
Patroness of Pro-Life Philippines.

Santo Tomas Khuong
Thomas Khuong belonged to a noble family on Tonkin and could well be a
son of a Mandarin. A Christian since childhood, he became a priest and a
Dominican tertiary. He was imprisoned many times because of his faith. When he
was in his 80's in 1859, he was arrested again. The judge tried in vain to make
him trample on the crucifix and invited him in vain to persuade his Christian
followers to apostatize but he firmly replied, "to redeem mankind, Christ
voluntarily suffered death... I too, want to give love for love, spilling all
my blood for him." While genuflecting to adore the crucifix, his head was
cut off, it was the 30th of January 1860.
