Biography

Blessed Tomás Gil de La Cal, also known as Tomás Gil De La Cal, was a courageous and devout Catholic postulant in the Salesians of Don Bosco. He was born on 7 March 1898 in Guzmán, Burgos, Spain, to a deeply religious family.

From a young age, Tomás showed great piety and a strong desire to follow the path of holiness. This led him to join the Salesians of Don Bosco, an order known for its commitment to the education and spiritual guidance of young people. Tomás' dedication and genuine love for God and others made him a well-respected member of the community.

Unfortunately, during a dark period in Spain's history, the Spanish Civil War erupted, bringing about great social and political unrest. As the war waged on, the Salesians and other religious institutions came under severe persecution.
