History

After they refused to take the oath in support of the civil constitution of the clergy, they were imprisoned in a Carmelite convent. [1] On September 2 and 3, 1792 they were massacred by revolutionary mobs. [2]

The victims included: Bishop of Saintes Pierre-Louis de La Rochefoucauld, [3] his brother François-Joseph de la Rochefoucauld, Bishop of Beauvais, and John du Lau, Archbishop of Arles. In addition, 127 secular priests, 56 monks and nuns, as well as 5 laypeople were killed. Eighty-six of the priests and four of the laity belonged to the Diocese of Paris. [4]

"John du Lau and Companions" were beatified by Pope Pius XI 134 years later in October 1926, and are commemorated on 2 September in the Roman Martyrology. [5] and in local calendars. One of the martyrs, Salomone Leclercq, was canonized by Pope Francis in 2016.
