"The shores of the Gulf of Tonkin in northern Vietnam contain the sites of martyrdom of 22 canonized Dominican friars who laid down their lives between 1745 and 1861. These men - 11 from Spain and 11 from Vietnam - are among the most recent of the Order's canonized saints to have lived and died. One of the youngest of these martyrs, Saint Valentine Berrio-Ochoa, offers to people today an attractive example of accepting responsibility and hardship with prayerful trust and panache."
In a recent commentary, Brother Basil Burroughs, O.P., reflected on the ministry and example of St. Valentine Berrio-Ochoa.
