Blessed Agustì Ibarra Angüela

Blessed Agustì Ibarra Angüela, a priest of the Archdiocese of Tarragona in Spain, is commemorated for his steadfast witness to the faith during the tumultuous Spanish Civil War. Born in the region of Catalonia, he dedicated his life to priestly service within his local Church community, faithfully administering the sacraments and tending to the spiritual needs of his flock. His ministry unfolded against a backdrop of escalating violence and persecution targeting the Catholic Church, particularly during the conflict's early, brutal years.
