VATICAN CITY — Blessed Titus Brandsma, the 20th-century martyr murdered at the Dachau (near Munich, Germany) concentration camp, will be canonized May 15, 2022 along with nine other candidates for sainthood, including Blessed Charles de Foucauld.

During a March 4 gathering of cardinals in Rome, Pope Francis added the names of three blesseds to the springtime date he had established in November for the canonizations of seven candidates.

The three blesseds added to the May 15 ceremony are:

• Blessed Brandsma, a Dutch Carmelite friar who was sent to Dachau for treason after defending Jews and press freedom and was killed with a lethal injection in 1942 at the age of 61. He was beatified by St. John Paul II in 1985.
• He was one of more than 2,700 clergy — 2,400 of them Catholic priests — who had been detained at the notorious Nazi concentration camp in Germany after urging editors of the Dutch Catholic press to violate a new law of the Third Reich and not print any Nazi propaganda [article continues . . .]
