Blessed Juan Agustín Codera Marqués: Feast Day September 25

Biography

Blessed Juan Agustín Codera Marqués, also known as Blessed Agustín Codera, was born on 25 May 1883 in Barbastro, Huesca, Spain. As an infant, he was baptized just one day after his birth and grew up in a devout Catholic family.

Deeply committed to his faith, Juan Agustín Codera felt a calling to dedicate his life to God and joined the Salesians of Don Bosco. On 24 July 1919, in Carabanchel Alto, Madrid, he took his religious vows and became a member of the Salesian order. Inspired by the teachings of St. John Bosco, Blessed Agustín Codera dedicated himself to the service of others, particularly as a nurse.

During the tumultuous period of the Spanish Civil War, Blessed Agustín Codera faced severe persecution due to his religious convictions. He would often risk his own safety to visit and care for the sick.
