This month we honor Fr. Jose Maris Robles Hurtado one of the six Knights of Columbus Priest Martyrs who gave up his life for his people and faith.

 

St. Jose Maria Robles Hurtado

 

FATHER JOSE MARIA ROBLES HURTADO

Father Jose Maria Robles Hurtado was a member of Council 1979. Ordained in 1913, he founded the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Guadalajara when he was only 25. On June 25, 1927, he was arrested while preparing to celebrate Mass. Early the next morning, he was hanged from an oak tree, but not before he had forgiven his murderers and offered a prayer for his parish. He went so far as to place the rope around his own neck, so that none of his captors would hold the title of murderer.
