The Holy September Martyrs (French: Saints Martyrs de Septembre), also referred to as the Blessed Martyrs of Carmes (Bienheureux Martyrs des Carmes), is the term sometimes used for 191 Catholics killed at the Carmes Prison in Paris in the September Massacres of 1792 during the French Revolution.

History

[edit]

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.
