Biography
The Martyred Salesians of Valencia were a group of five individuals who were devout members of the Salesians of Don Bosco, a Catholic religious congregation founded by Saint John Bosco. These five individuals included four priests and a cleric who dedicated their lives to the service of others, particularly the youth. They were all martyred together during the Spanish Civil War, which took place from 1936 to 1939 and resulted in the persecution of Catholics and other religious groups.
