On this day we also commemorate the Blessed Martyr Theodore Rhonza. He was born in the Subcarpathia region of what is now the Ukraine on April 14, 1911. He studied as a seminarian in Rome and ordained a priest on December 25, 1936. At age 33 he was consecrated a Bishop and became Administer of the Eparchy of Mukachevo. Because of his tireless work to minister to his congregations, the Communist officials wanted to assasinate him. Unfortunately, a plot to kill him succeeded after an initial motor vehicle accident and eventual poisoning by a relief nurse when hospitalized. He was beatified a Martyr for Faith by Pope John Paul II on June 27, 2001 with November 1st his feast day.
