Blessed José Joaquín Erviti Insausti: Feast Day August 22

Biography

Blessed José Joaquín Erviti Insausti, also known as Pascual, was a Redemptorist brother who dedicated his life to serving God and his community. He was born on November 11, 1902, in Echalecu, Navarra, Spain. Known for his deep devotion and commitment, Pascual joined the Redemptorist congregation on February 24, 1930.

After entering the community, Pascual underwent a period of formation and spiritual growth, culminating in his solemn profession on February 24, 1935. His profound faith and selflessness were evident in the numerous acts of kindness and service he rendered to those in need, both within his religious community and beyond.

Tragically, during the turbulent years of the Spanish Civil War, Pascual was targeted for his religious beliefs and martyred for his faith. He met his cruel death on August 22, 1936, in Pradera de San Isidro, Madrid, Spain.
