Blessed Tomas Valera Gonzalez
Teenager and Martyr
Died: 1938
---
He was a Spanish teenager and martyr. He was an active member of Catholic Action and of the association of nocturnal Eucharistic Adoration. This was the reason why he was arrested at the beginning of the anti-Catholic Spanish Revolution. While in prison, he distributed the food that his mother brought him to the prisoners. He was later shot in the grave that he himself had dug. He was only 19 years old.
