Pedro Manuel Salado de Alba

Life

Lay faithful, member of the Association "Hogar de Nazaret"; on 5 February 2012, while the children of his community were playing in the water near the shore, a rip current formed and swept seven of them out to sea. He did not hesitate to dive in, saying "I must save my children," and pulled them all out, but after saving the last two he died exhausted on the shore.

Translated from the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.
